Twenty years, a thousand pages, and now a single beautiful edition
of Arundhati Roy's complete non-fiction. 'Arundhati Roy is one of
the most confident and original thinkers of our time' Naomi Klein
'The world has never had to face such global confusion. Only in
facing it can we make sense of what we have to do. And this is
precisely what Arundhati Roy does. She makes sense of what we have
to do. Thereby offering an example. An example of what? Of being
fully alive in our world, such as it is, and of getting close to
and listening to those for whom this world has become intolerable'
John Berger 'Arundhati Roy calls for 'factual precision' alongside
of the 'real precision of poetry.' Remarkably, she combines those
achievements to a degree that few can hope to approach' Noam
Chomsky 'Unflinching emotional as well as political intelligence...
Lucid and probing insights on a range of matters, from crony
capitalism and environmental depredation to the perils of
nationalism and, in her most recent work, the insidiousness of the
Hindu caste system. In an age of intellectual logrolling and
mass-manufactured infotainment, she continues to offer bracing ways
of seeing, thinking and feeling' TIME magazine 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
environment. Taken together, these essays trace her twenty year
journey from the Booker Prize-winning The God of Small Things to
the extraordinary The Ministry of Utmost Happiness: a journey
marked by compassion, clarity and courage. Radical and readable,
they speak always in defence 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. In constant
conversation with the themes and settings of her novels, the essays
form a near-unbroken memoir of Arundhati Roy's journey as both a
writer and a citizen, of both India and the world, from 'The End of
Imagination', which begins this book, to 'My Seditious Heart', with
which it ends.
