Arundhati Roy's book of essays, 'Azadi' (2021), especially the French translation, received acclaim.
'Azaadi' explores the concept of freedom in an increasingly totalitarian world, with an emphasis on fiction and alternative imaginations.
Roy is known for his notable works, including the Booker Prize-winning novel The God of Small Things.
