Rohinton Mistry is an Indian-born Canadian writer. He has been the recipient of the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 2012. Each of his three novels was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. All have been set in India, told from the perspective of Parsis, and explore themes of family life, poverty, discrimination, and the corrupting influence of society. His first novel, ***Such a Long Journey***, won the Governor General’s Award, the Commonwealth Writers Prize for Best Book, and the SmithBooks/*Books in Canada* First Novel Award. It was made into an acclaimed feature film in 1998. **Photo** © F. Mistry ([Source](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/20859/rohinton-mistry/))
