Publication at Faculty of Education |

Abstract

In the realm of literature, the Indian writer Arundhati Roy is perhaps best known for her 1997 novel, The God of Small Things, for which she received the Booker Prize and which remains, to this day, her major, and until recently the only, artistic and imaginative accomplishment. However, over the time she has proved to be considerably more prolific when it comes to political writings.

The paper brifely traces the collusion of her artistic and political efforts.
