The Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire by Arundhati Roy
An utterly entrancing new collection of essays, as controversial, inspirational and passionate as anything Arundhati Roy has yet written.
'Though she be but little, she is fierceRoy is witty and moving, and her passion is focused and mordant. She is a great modern rhetorician, treading the boards of a world stage.' The Times 'Roy is excellent at putting across the rational arguments and web of facts that are necessary to back up her opinions. She has a good command of both the big picture and the small and allows people to speak for themselves, pushing those who are often forgotten into the foreground of the debate.' Natasha Walter, Guardian 'Roy should be required reading.' Marie Claire 'Roy is always passionately intense. Her controversial views on terrorism are single-minded and uncompromising. She compels you to have an opinion on matters she feels are important.' Observer 'Roy is to be congratulated for a real and personally risky political engagement at a time when many Western writers of her celebrity can respond to world events only from a debilitating aesthetic distance.'
