Arundhati Roy--as author of our novel |
Arundhati Roy is unique. She has written one novel--over ten years ago and it received the high honor of a Booker Prize and the readership of many who find it lyrical, moving, evocative of India. She is an activist--this is a page to explore about her work and words-- who has written and spoken about the environment--the cause of simple people to preserve their land; their way of life; their connection to water, earth, and place. She is political and has put her life on the line. She writes, still, and is interviewed often--such as this interview at Salon magazine 12 years ago when she had just recently published her only book of fiction, The God of Small Things. She said in a recent interview that she is writing/working on another novel. Her most recent non-fiction work is Field Notes on Democracy: Listening to Grasshoppers which she spoke about in Seattle last February. Here us a YouTube video when she is interviewed last Fall for Fault Lines--WATCH THIS TO LEARN ABOUT OUR AUTHOR.
