Anita Desai was born as Anita Mazumdar to a German mother, Toni Nime, and a Bengali businessman, D. N. Mazumdar in Mussoorie, India. She spoke German at home and Bengali, Urdu, Hindi and English outside home. She began to write in English at the age of seven, and published her first story at the age of nine.
She graduated (B.A. in English literature) in 1957 from the Miranda House of the University of Delhi. She then married Ashvin Desai, the director of a computer software company and author of the book: Between Eternities: Ideas on Life and The Cosmos. They have four children. Her children often holidayed in Thul (near Alibagh), where Desai based her novel Village by the Sea. This novel won the Guardian Children\'s Fiction Award.
Anita Desai considers Clear Light Of Day her most autobiographical work as it is set in the same neighborhood in which she grew up. She is also known for her work In Custody, which is about an Urdu poet in his declining days - which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Her latest novel is The Artist Of Disappearance.
Desai’s novels are known to have characters, events and moods with a rich use of visual imagery and details. In fact, this quality of her writing has led to liberal comparisons with the modern writings of T.S. Eliot, William Faulkner and Virginia Woolf. She explains the birth of her scenes begins with images itself: There are so many images that remain in the mind but they often are also forgotten, they pass through one\'s life and then they vanish. But there are certain images, certain characters, certain words that you find you don\'t lose, you remember, they stay with you and eventually these come together, you begin to see what the connection is between them.
