Less hair, more controversy
Susanne, after reading my blog this morning, reminded me why Arundhati Roy got her hair cut--she was sick of everyone making a deal about her good looks. Good for her, I'd say.
Susanne also told me that Roy'd been in jail several times--something I didn't know. She's tough indeed, that Roy. It turns out she's facing an obscenity charge for some of the goings on in The God of Small Things, and has been thrown in jail for her words more than one time. Common Dreams, an activist news source, has an article about Roy's style of feminism which is quite good. And normally, while chances are that I would look for the slant in an article from any site bearing an aggressive political agenda, this comes off clean--the sidebar features plenty more written by Roy herself. Good stuff.
