Arundhati Roy Discusses Memoir in Kolkata

Arundhati Roy, a famous Indian writer, talked about her new book called Mother Mary Comes To Me at a college in Kolkata.

This was the first time she spoke about the book outside of Kerala.

She talked about how her mother, Mary Roy, inspired her to write the book.

Roy shared stories from her childhood and read parts of her book to the audience.

She also sang a song with students at the end.

The book is about her mother and the feelings she had after her mother passed away.

Roy said she was very sad and confused, but writing the book helped her deal with those feelings.

She even stayed up all night sometimes, wondering why she was writing the book.

The event was organized by a group called the Kalam Club, and a professor named Shohini Ghosh talked with Roy.
