Abstract

The article reads Arundhati Roy's second novel The Ministry of Utmost Happiness in terms of a 'necropolitical' aesthetics. It problematises the differentiation of the urban terrains in the novel between 'cities of peace' and 'cities of war', and reflects on the use of the city of the dead as a linking motif.
