Tim,

"compelling" is a red herring. I've made no secret of my opinion that
Arundhati Roy is fundamentally dishonest; in approximately the same
way that Tom Friedman is dishonest (and how's that for irony?) - Her
agenda shines through even more in what is NOT said (i.e, carefully or
conveniently omitted from her effusions) than in what is said - though
that is certainly shrill enough.

Read as fiction, her faults are many. Read as fact or analysis, not
even in the frame.
