Five books of essays in one volume from the Booker Prize-winner and "one of the most ambitious and divisive political essayists of her generation" (
The Washington Post).
With a new introduction by Arundhati Roy, this new collection begins with her pathbreaking book
The Cost of Living-published soon after she won the Booker Prize for her novel
The God of Small Things-in which she forcefully condemned India's nuclear tests and its construction of enormous dam projects that continue to displace countless people from their homes and communities.
The End of Imagination also includes her nonfiction works
Power Politics,
War Talk,
Public Power in the Age of Empire, and
An Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire, which include her widely circulated and inspiring writings on the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the need to confront corporate power, and the hollowing out of democratic institutions globally.
Praise for Arundhati Roy
"The fierceness with which Arundhati Roy loves humanity moves my heart." -Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and recipient of the LennonOno Grant for Peace Award
"Arundhati Roy combines her brilliant style as a novelist with her powerful commitment to social justice in producing these eloquent, penetrating essays." -Howard Zinn, author of
Political Awakenings and
Indispensable Zinn
"Arundhati Roy is incandescent in her brilliance and her fearlessness. And in these extraordinary essays-which are clarions for justice, for witness, for a true humanity-Roy is at her absolute best." -Junot Díaz, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
"One of the most confident and original thinkers of our time." -Naomi Klein, author of
No Is Not Enough and
The Battle For Paradise
"Arundhati Roy calls for 'factual precision' alongside of the 'real precision of poetry.' Remarkably, she combines those achievements to a degree that few can hope to approach." -Noam Chomsky, leading public intellectual and author of
Hopes and Prospects
"India's most impassioned critic of globalization and American influence." -
