Andy F:

Could somebody fill me in on why she [Arundhati Roy] attracts so much contempt? I'm not a fan (except of God of Small Things), I just don't understand why she gets singled out. =====================

Around here, there are reliable complaints which reappear whenever Roy's name is brought up.


>From the LBOTALK archives, I've isolated what I
believe to be the most common themes:

Irritation with her novelist's approach to pressing issues

<http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/2004/2004-September/021936.html>

She's the "Anti Everything" Woman

<http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/2004/2004-May/010881.html>

Roy panders to a "disillusioned left"

<http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/2003/2003-June/014763.html>

All criticisms are branchings of these three main streams.
