Description of My Seditious Heart: Collected Nonfiction
Review �'These studies are trenchant, still relevant and frequently alarming....Roy�s done the research, and she has all the receipts....Roy writes in her foreword that �Not one iota of my anger has diminished� since the time of writing these essays. Yet they do not come across as angry. Instead, their impact comes from their precision, research and damningly clear reportage.'�The Guardian�Roy�s fury is suited to these horrible and therefore simpler times; it�s more tuned to the reality on the ground than restraint and statistics. Roy started writing nonfiction when the world felt better.�My�Seditious�Heart�arrives to tell us not that the world has deteriorated but that it was never as fine as we once believed.���New Yorker'Arundhati Roy�s new essay collection,�My Seditious Heart,�every page of which gifts you her far seeing, her calm and intelligent urgency, the wisdom and relief of her articulacy, her courage.���Ali Smith,�The�Guardian'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. Her lucid and probing essays offer sharp 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.��Pankaj Mishra,�Time magazine'The writing is passionate, seething with anger; it clearly takes sides, and cannot be accused of ideological ambiguity.'��Independent�[T]here is an intellectual historian in Roy, always contextualizing and looking at the broader picture....Few people write as Roy does, in a soft lilting voice that persuades us to walk with her, and to plot our approaches together.� �Full Stop�'This book conclusively serves notice that Arundhati Roy is an heir apparent to the greatest social essayists.... One can only hope she is working on more essays about our current state of world affairs. Now more than ever, she is a writer we need, as she'll help to put this complex mess of our times into a more understandable perspective.' �Pop MattersPraise 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 fierceness with which Arundhati Roy loves humanity moves my heart.'��Alice Walker'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'The notion of Democracy and the pleading for human compassion first came together in Sophocles and the Greek tragedies. More than two thousand years later we live under an economic world tyranny of unprecedented brutality, which depends upon the systematic abuse of words like Democracy or Progress. Arundhati Roy, the direct descendant of Antigone, resists and denounces all tyrannies, pleads for their victims, and unflinchingly questions the tragic. Reflect with her on the answers she receives from the political world today.'��John Berger�[Roy is] an electrifying political essayist... So fluent is her prose, so keen her understanding of global politics, and so resonant her objections to nuclear weapons, assaults against the environment, and the endless suffering of the poor that her essays are as uplifting as they are galvanizing.���Booklist�[Arundhati Roy is] India's most impassioned critic of globalization and American influence.���The New York Times'The scale of what Roy surveys is staggering. Her pointed indictment is devastating.'��The New York Times Book Review'Her incomparable divining rod picks up the cries of the despised and the oppressed in the most remote corners of the globe; it even picks up the cries of rivers and fish. With an unfailing charm and wit that makes her writing constantly enlivening to read, her analysis of our grotesque world is savagely clear, and yet her anger never obscures her awareness that beauty, joy, and pleasure can potentially be part of the life of human beings.'�Wallace Shawn� Read more About the Author Arundhati Roy studied architecture in New Delhi, where she now lives.
