Arundhati Roy in her first novel The God of Small Things shows her ingenuity in both narrative management and market management by making it the most materialistic and popular novel of the decade. By bagging the coveted Booker Prize of 1997, making the media and the academia the world over hysterical about it she has established the fact that a novelist has to be skilled not only his/her own craft of novel writing but also in publicity and market management. Perhaps the old days of Raja Rao, R.K. Narayan and M.R. Anand have gone. Now P.R.O factor plays an important role in making a writer. Most of the high profile novelists hire the services of professional agents in the world market. Roy caught the nerves of the time and her novel proved ‘luckier’ than what luck itself could have expected.
