My Seditious Heart: Collected Non-fiction [Hardcover] Roy Arundhati

Twenty years a thousand pages and now a single beautiful edition of Arundhati Roy's complete non-fiction.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. Taken together these essays trace her twenty year journey from the Booker Prize-winning The God of Small Things to the extraordinary The Ministry of Utmost Happiness: a journey marked by compassion clarity and courage. Radical and readable they speak always in defence 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.
