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.”
—Rick Simonson, Elliott Bay Book Company, Seattle
