Bookended by her two extraordinary novels, The God of Small Things (1997) and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness (2017), My Seditious Heart collects the work of a two-decade period when Arundhati Roy devoted herself to the political essay as a way of opening up space for justice, rights, and freedoms in an increasingly hostile environment.

Radical and superbly listenable, the essays speak in a voice of unique spirit, marked by compassion, clarity, and courage. Roy offers a powerful defense of the collective, of the individual, and of the land, in the face of the destructive logic of financial, social, religious, military, and governmental elites.

In constant conversation with the themes and settings of her novels, the essays form a near-unbroken memoir of Arundhati Roy's journey as both a writer and a citizen, of both India and the world, from "The End of Imagination", which begins this book, to "My Seditious Heart", with which it ends.

Roy stuns me with her moral clarity and vigour. One of the most urgent voices of our time.

I admire her observation and hope all leaders of the world can learn from this book.
We are heading towards a dead end due to atrocities of the ruling class and this book opens our eyes to start taking steps towards a drastic change to bring back justice and survival of innocence.
I thank the author for her crystal clear, fearless and humane viewpoint which needs to be assimilated to avoid the current forces of corruption.
I hope and pray for the safety and health of the author who is a light of hope in this bleak world.
The narrator is excellent with a voice which is flawless.I recommend the narrator to perform more of similar books.
Again I strongly recommend this book to be read by all the humanity in order to change the increasing gap between rich and poor; otherwise the future seems not too bright!

Must read to understand the disparities of world .

The book is quiet serious in it's content but I am not fan of authors efforts to inject humor. maybe I have different taste but other than that the essays are quiet repetitive in the way that there is a constant disdain about the social setup, governmental setup, and families setups and everything in between. It's depressing but I have read more depressive books, somehow this one is painful to listen to(in a BAD way) because the narration!! My god why is narration so slow paced? it's like its bring read to a fifth grader. There is this over emphasis on Aha's and hmmms. I have listened to many books and it's not one of the books that would be helped by slow narration. it's not about some complex issues, it's about corruption and injustice nothing too foreign, I mean I stopped listening only because of narration and I found myself a non-admirer of author's writing style as well. It's just boring audiobook. No thought provoking material.

Torturous narration pace
