Arundhati Roy--The God of Small Things & Power Politics

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. We are reading from Power Politics and the literature class is reading her novel. She said in a recent interview that she is writing/working on another novel.
