description: 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.
