YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe author and political activist Arundhati Roy has faced prison and censorship. Her Booker Prize-winning novel “The God of Small Things” made her an international literary star when it came out in 1997. Since then, Roy has spent most of her career writing about the struggles of marginalized and oppressed people, and she has been targeted repeatedly by India’s government under the populist leader Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Roy tells “The Interview” host Lulu Garcia-Navarro that she knows what’s coming for America under President Trump, and she shares advice for how to survive in what she calls a “culture of fear.” Roy’s new memoir, “Mother Mary Comes to Me,” comes out on Sept. 2.
“The Interview” features conversations with the world’s most fascinating people. Each week, co-hosts David Marchese and Lulu Garcia-Navarro talk to compelling, influential figures in culture, politics, business, sports and beyond — illuminating who they are, why they do what they do and how they impact the rest of us.
