Sinossi
C'è tutto il mondo di Arundhati Roy in queste pagine: ci sono i temi della sua militanza in difesa dei diritti civili, la polemica contro la politica militare di Bush, le riflessioni sul terrorismo, la guerra atomica e i rapporti tra Oriente e Occidente. Ma non solo. Perché in questa lunga e intensa intervista, la narratrice indiana si svela e parla anche di sé, della sua vicenda umana e famigliare segnata dall'assenza della figura paterna, e poi dei suoi studi, dei viaggi, del successo mondiale dei suoi libri. Un breve e fulmineo ritratto, il profilo unico di una protagonista della letteratura contemporanea.

Recensioni
This is what the kids call a vibe-check kinda book. You learn less about the issues discussed (this is a book of interviews) than an approach to them, an orientation: to stand against power; to recognize the idiosyncrasies of 'the West'; to celebrate the dignity of independence; to see the interconn Leggi tutto
I have just recently begun learning about the rise of Indian Hindu nationalism, led mainly by the BJP and RSS. These discussions with Roy give a good analysis of both the resistance and the support for Modi and his policies, while not becoming too "in the weeds" of Indian politics
I was highly impressed by the interviews of Arundhati Roy, whose answers are always thought-provoking, honest (if one-sided), eloquent and erudite in nature. At the same time, like any activist of any side, she tends to be one-sided, and rarely gives you the full view and events leading to a particul Leggi tutto
Reading with a book that's actually transcribed interviews was my way of trying to get back into some academic reading. This book was mostly a history lesson for me since the interviews were conducted between 1999 and 2002 and I don't know that much about Indian politics but it was interesting to th Leggi tutto

An interesting collection of essays. I really enjoy Roy's voice and am excited to pick up some of her fiction. While these essays were written in a different time, the early 2000s, many of the ideas still feel relevant. Her discussions of Hindutva were alarmingly prescient, especially as she discuss Leggi tutto
An excellent overview of Roy's sociopolitical worldview. The interviews wrap you in the warmth of a revolutionary woman in the midst of an India taking a turn for the fascist.
A little simplistic, but a great introduction to Roy’s work. Hopefully it inspires readers to check out the other texts mentioned within. I’m glad I read this before checking out The God of Small Things, it provides some important context.
To say that Arundhati Roy is brilliant, is an understatement. She marries intellect with pithy eloquence, saying so much in a few words. It looks like Ms Roy has an opinion on everything: dams in India; corporate takeover of state responsibilities in India; sectarian politics in India; Bush and his
The Checkbook and the Cruise Missile, conversations with Arundhati Roy, interviews by David Barsamiam (pp 157). Roy is an Indian social commentator, journalist, and author. This book is a series of interviews of her thoughts about India, America, and the world. Rather than make what would be a pathe Leggi tutto
