Adrian Poole, Emeritus Professor of English Literature and a Fellow of Trinity College, said:
‘This is the second occasion on which Cambridge has hosted an important lecture by Arundhati Roy. In November 1999, two years after the publication of her first novel, The God of Small Things, which won the Booker Prize for Fiction in 1997, she delivered the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Lecture, ‘The Cost of Living.’
Two decades later in 2018, a year after the publication of her second novel, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, she was invited to give the Trinity College Clark Lecture for 2020. We are delighted that her lecture is now published here, as well as in Caravan and LitHub.’
