वर्तमान भारत में असमानता को समझने और उससे निपटने के लिए, अरुंधति रॉय ज़ोर दे कर कहती हैं कि हमें राजनीतिक विकास और एम.के. गांधी का प्रभाव, दोनों का ही परीक्षण करना होगा। सोचना होगा कि क्यों बी.आर. आंबेडकर द्वारा गांधी की लगभग दैवीय छवि को दी गई प्रबुद्ध चुनौती को भारत के कुलीन वर्ग द्वारा दबा दिया गया। राय के विश्लेषण में, हम देखते हैं कि न्याय के लिए आंबेडकर की लड़ाई, जाति को सुदृढ़ करनेवाली नीतियों के पक्ष में, व्यवस्थित रूप से दरकिनार कर दी गई, जिसका परिणाम है वर्तमान भारतीय राष्ट्र जो आज ब्रिटिश शासन से स्वतंत्र है, विश्वस्तर पर शक्तिशाली है, लेकिन आज भी जो जाति व्यवस्था में आकंठ डूबा है।

‘The terse, typewritten note slipped under my door in a sealed envelope confirmed my appointment with “India’s single biggest internal security challenge”. I’d been waiting for months to hear from them...’ In early 2010, Arundhati Roy travelled into the forests of Central India, homeland to millions of indigenous people, dreamland to some of the world’s biggest mining corporations. The result is this powerful and unprecedented report from the heart of an unfolding revolution.

''De vertelstem van Roy is zo uitzonderlijk, moreel indringend en rijk aan verbeelding tegelijk, dat je van begin tot eind betoverd blijft.'' The New York Times Arundhati Roy''s debuutroman De God van Kleine Dingen is een moderne klassieker, die wel wordt vergeleken met het werk van Faulkner en Dickens. Deze wereldwijd geliefde roman is een aangrijpend familierelaas, een geheime liefdesgeschiedenis en een politiek drama tegelijk. Het boek vertelt het verhaal van een welgestelde Indiase familie, voorgoed getekend door één noodlottige dag in 1969. De komst van hun beeldschone nichtje Sophie zet de wereld van de zevenjarige tweeling Estha en Rahel volledig op zijn kop. Wat volgt is een reeks van verboden verlangens en tragische gebeurtenissen – zowel toevallig als doelbewust – die de ''grote dingen die onuitgesproken blijven'' blootleggen in een land dat gevaarlijk snel richting onrust afglijdt. ''Een echt ambitieuze roman moet zijn eigen taal uitvinden, en dat doet deze.'' John Updike, The New Yorker ''''Een epische roman.'' NRC ''Een droomdebuut.'' Trouw

El esperado regreso de una autora «superlativamente brillante» (The New York Review of Books). La premio Booker por El dios de las pequeñas cosas firma un poderoso memoir sobre su madre, un acontecimiento editorial mundial. «Una de las pensadoras más lúcidas y originales de nuestro tiempo». --Naomi Klein «Una novelista de finísima sensibilidad. Arundhati Roy es una cazadora de historias de vida».--Javier del Pino, Cadena SER Destrozada por la muerte de su madre y, al mismo tiempo, desconcertada y «más que un poco avergonzada» por la intensidad de su reacción, Arundhati Roy comenzó a escribir estas memorias en un intento de comprender sus sentimientos hacia la madre de la que huyó a los dieciocho años, «no porque no la amara, sino para poder seguir amándola». Así empieza esta historia asombrosa, el libro que Roy lleva «escribiendo toda la vida», un texto radicalmente honesto, divertido y profundamente conmovedor. Con la amplitud, el alcance y la profundidad de novelas tan icónicas como El dios de las pequeñas cosas, este libro es un canto a la libertad y un homenaje al amor espinoso, un último abrazo entre madre e hija. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Finalist for the Kirkus Prize A raw and deeply moving memoir from the legendary author of The God of Small Things and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness that traces the complex relationship with her mother, Mary Roy, a fierce and formidable force who shaped Arundhati''s life both as a woman and a writer. Mother Mary Comes to Me, Arundhati Roy''s first work of memoir, is a soaring account, both intimate and inspirational, of how the author became the person and the writer she is, shaped by circumstance, but above all by her complex relationship to the extraordinary, singular mother she describes as "my shelter and my storm." "Heart-smashed" by her mother Mary''s death in September 2022 yet puzzled and "more than a little ashamed" by the intensity of her response, Roy began to write, to make sense of her feelings about the mother she ran from at age eighteen, "not because I didn''t love her, but in order to be able to continue to love her." And so begins this astonishing, sometimes disturbing, and surprisingly funny memoir of the author''s journey from her childhood in Kerala, India, where her single mother founded a school, to the writing of her prizewinning novels and essays, through today. With the scale, sweep, and depth of her novels, The God of Small Things and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, and the passion, political clarity, and warmth of her essays, Mother Mary Comes to Me is an ode to freedom, a tribute to thorny love and savage grace--a memoir like no other.

Political essays; chiefly on Indian context.
