One of the world’s most celebrated writers, Arundhati Roy is known as the author of two novels—The God of Small Things, her Booker Prize-winning debut, and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness—as well as powerful essays addressing urgent social and political issues like globalization, indigenous rights, and nuclear weapons.
Now, Roy comes to BAM for a revealing conversation about her newest book, Mother Mary Comes to Me, scheduled for publication in September.
