"Arundhati Roy is one of the most confident and original thinkers
of our time."--Naomi Klein"The fierceness with which Arundhati Roy
loves humanity moves my heart."--Alice Walker"[Roy is] an
electrifying political essayist. . . . So fluent is her prose, so
keen her understanding of global politics, and so resonant her
objections to nuclear weapons, assaults against the environment,
and the endless suffering of the poor that her essays are as
uplifting as they are galvanizing."--Booklist
