Arundhati Roy on Returning to Fiction, Redefining Happiness & Writing About Worlds Ripped Apart
by mail@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#2TF17)
Today we spend the hour with the acclaimed Indian writer Arundhati Roy. It has been 20 years since her debut novel, "The God of Small Things," made her a literary sensation. While the book won the Booker Prize and became an international best-seller, selling over 6 million copies, Roy soon turned away from fiction. Now, two decades later, Roy has returned to fiction and has just published her second novel, "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness."
