JAGODA MARINIĆ MEETS ARUNDHATI ROY: MOTHER MARY COMES TO ME
She took the global literary world by storm with her debut novel “The God of Small Things”. Since then, ARUNDHATI ROY is known not only as one of the greatest authors of our time but also as an uncompromising political voice and activist. Now, in her memoir MOTHER MARY COMES TO ME, Roy opens her personal archive of memories. In conversation with author and columnist JAGODA MARINIĆ, she talks about the death of her mother, her childhood in Kerala, her siblings, and about a young woman who sets off to become a writer. It is a book about origins and upheaval, about an inherited courage to resist, about India today – and about an extraordinary mother-daughter relationship. German text: THERESE HÄMER
