up and question things

[Roy is] an electrifying political essayist. . . . So fluent is her
prose, so keen her understanding of global politics, and so
resonant her objections to nuclear weapons, assaults against the
environment, and the endless suffering of the poor that her essays
are as uplifting as they are galvanizing

heart
