Literature and Politics – Arundhati Roy: “Establishments have always feared writers.”
“The outside world sees literature and politics as two separate things. I don’t.
“But I think the reason that the establishments have always feared writers, the reason that writers are persecuted or put into jail, is because they have that weapon of clarity, and when they choose to use it, it’s deadly.”
Arundhati Roy [laweekly.com Feb 21-27 2003]
