review: Editorial Reviews Review “Arundhati Roy's Azadi is a collection of essays and speeches describing India's recent descent into totalitarianism that speaks to the heart and the mind. Intelligent and thoughtful and written with empathy, it brings the reality of the situation home in way few other writers can.” — Seattle Post - Intelligencer "Arundhati Roy is one of the most confident and original thinkers of our time." —Naomi Klein "Roy’s ... nonfictional engagement with the conflicts and traumas of a heedlessly globalized world has manifested the virtues of an unflinching emotional as well as political intelligence.... In an age of intellectual logrolling and mass-manufactured infotainment, she continues to offer bracing ways of seeing, thinking and feeling." —Pankaj Mishra "No writer today, in India or anywhere in the world, writes with the kind of beautiful, piercing prose in defense of the wretched of the earth that Roy does.... Roy the essayist embodies the legalistic but humanistic ruthlessness of a public defender, the wit and wordplay of a poet, a comrade who takes no injustice as a given." —Jacobin About the Author 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 . A collection of her essays from the past twenty years, My Seditious Heart , was recently published by Haymarket Books.
