Last night was an amazing experience to be part of the online community watching Arundhati Roy speak in Seattle. If my husband and I weren’t leaving on Sunday to camp on Lopez Island, we would have seen her in person. That said, to be part of the experience of seeing her was something that Ron and I absolutely treasure.
I more than love and respect and am grateful for this remarkable, brave, brilliant woman who has made such an enormous difference worldwide. Arundhati Roy is among my greatest heroines of all times. Her strong voice of truth, integrity, courage, activism, wisdom and depth, and profound caring for the sufferings and injustices that she finds anywhere has been an inspiration for me for decades.
And before she even spoke about her book last evening, Arundhati Roy spoke of the horrors of the genocide in Gaza.
And now her latest book Mother Mary Comes To Me joins all the others which have lined our bookshelves for decades beginning with The God of Small Things. What a different world we would have if we humans listened to and absorbed the truths of what she illuminates. Arundhati Roy is truly an international treasure. Deepest bow of respect, gratitude, and love. 🙏💜 Molly
