She's not obnoxious at all, actually quite charming in person, just very vocal and feisty. Sometimes her political writing veers over into sentimental moralizing, but she gets 90% of neoliberalism right, and her pieces are always powerful, engaging and exquisitely well-written. Plus, "God of Small Things" is a magnificent novel.
