    About this ebook

  • Roy is working on her new novel, the release of which will generate attention for her non-fiction writing.
  • Arundhati Roy is among the best-known writers and social justice activists in the world today, with a committed global audience.
  • Her best-selling 1997 novel "The God of Small Things" and her courageous, popular interviews and essays on war and peace, contemporary India and Kashmir, U.S. imperial power, and a renewal of popular democracy across the world, have earned her a large audience and international profile.
  • Roy's writings on Southeast Asia come at a time of renewed interest in the subcontinent. But Roy offers an essential counterpoint to the caricatured Western image surrounding India's precarious version of secular democracy.
  • The topics Roy explores are also of global concern. These include war, terrorism, national and ethnic identity, social inequality, and more.
  • Roy's writing on Gandhi generated significant controversy when published in India, where criticism of Gandhi and his politics are virtually nonexistent.
