Twenty
years, a thousand pages, and now a single beautiful edition of
Arundhati Roy's complete nonfiction. Bookended by her two extraordinary
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 environment. Radical and superbly readable, the
essays speak in a voice of unique spirit, marked by compassion, clarity,
and courage. Roy offers a powerful 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. In
constant conversation with the themes and settings of her novels, the
essays form a near-unbroken memoir of Arundhati Roy's journey as both a
writer and a citizen, of both India and the world, from "The End of
Imagination," which begins this book, to "My Seditious Heart," with
which it ends. 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.
