Roy's writings don't need any advocate for their defence. But perhaps this much has to be said, if only in defense of professors and teachers of English who choose novels such as Roy,s as course material.
Good literature doesn't hide behind the skirts of civil society. Nor was it ever the simpering handmaiden of squeamish teenyboppers. Good literature has to go boldly where no man or
woman has gone. With brutal honesty and
endearing frankness. It is thus that good
literature helps to exorcise society of its
lingering guilt and angst.
Good literature gets done because it has to be.
The world needs it.
