Praise For Listening to Grasshoppers
“A sharp-tongued political activist...[Roy is] a right royal pain to those content with the status quo in India.” —The Toronto Star
“Roy has a gift... [Listening to Grasshoppers] provides a chilling peek at the state of governance in the much ballyhooed India 2.0...Roy is still the kind of writer who can make time stop...Like Slumdog Millionaire and White Tiger, Listening to Grasshoppers rips off the India-as-Infosys facade, revealing the not-so secret problems of country battling itself.” —Globe and Mail
Praise For The God of Small Things
“Treading Roy’s maze, we learn a great deal about a ‘vast, violent, circling, driving, ridiculous, insane, unfeasible, public turmoil of a nation’ ... The God of Small Things delivers so much terror and beauty, and so omniscient a view of India ... Like a devotionally built temple, it builds a massive interlocking structure of fine, intensely felt details.” —John Updike, The New Yorker |
