Praise for Arundhati Roy: "Arundhati Roy combines her brilliant
style as a novelist with her powerful commitment to social justice
in producing these eloquent, penetrating essays." --Howard Zinn
"Arundhati Roy is one of the most confident and original thinkers
of our time." --Naomi Klein "The scale of what Roy surveys is
staggering. Her pointed indictment is devastating." --The New York
Times Book Review Bookended by her two award-winning novels, The
God of Small Things (1997) and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness
(2017), My Seditious Heart collects the work of a two-decade period
when Arundhati Roy devoted herself to the political essay as a way
of opening up space for justice, rights, and freedoms in an
increasingly hostile world. Taken together, the essays speak in a
voice of unique spirit, marked by compassion, clarity, and courage.
Radical and superbly readable, they speak always in defense of the
collective, of the individual and of the land, in the face of the
destructive logic of financial, social, religious, military, and
governmental elites. Arundhati Roy studied architecture in New
Delhi where she now lives. She is the author of the novels The God
of Small Things, for which she received the 1997 Booker Prize, and
The Ministry of Utmost Happiness. She has written several
nonfiction books, including Field Notes on Democracy: Listening to
Grasshoppers, Capitalism: A Ghost Story, Walking with the Comrades,
Things That Can and Cannot Be Said (with John Cusack), and The End
of Imagination. She is the recipient of the 2002 Lannan Cultural
Freedom Prize.
