The Checkbook and the Cruise Missile | Praise

"Do not plan on reading The Checkbook and the Cruise Missile slowly and savoring it like, say, The God of Small Things. This time around, Arundhati Roy can see the point of no return looming ominously on the horizon … and she has issued a call to arms that we cannot afford to ignore."
—Mickey Z., Z Magazine

"Here is everything you've come to know and love about Arundhati Roy—and David Barsamian. Roy's political observations are of an exceptionally acute and pithy intelliegence. Her wisdom has a way of turning a phrase completely unique to Roy, yet without losing the common touch. It lashes out in a fury at injustice everywhere, yet with compassion at vital and common as sodden sand squishing through barefoot toes on a riverbank."
—Tracy McClellan, Dissident Voice

"This series of four conversations with David Barsamian, The Checkbook and the Cruise Missile, is a fresh reminder of the the power of idea advocated with passion. Arundhati Roy has both, passion and ideas, and more (wit, intelliegence, commitment, talent...). This book deserves wide dissemination."
—Giles D'Aymery, swans.com
