by Arundhati Roy.
An Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire | Praise
In her Ordinary Person's Guide, Roy's perfect pitch and sharp
scalpel are, once again, a wonder and a joy to behold. No less remarkable is
the range of material subjected to her sure and easy touch, and the surprising
information she reveals at every turn. Another outstanding contribution.
Noam Chomsky
Not since James Baldwin have I read writing so prophetic and telling
as what Arundhati Roy does in these extraordinary essays. A powerful reminder
that language itself, and the imagination which it gives form to, is itself
a battlefield.
