Arundhati Roy was in Johannesburg yesterday to discuss her work with esteemed journalist Michele Magwood.

Penguin Random House filmed the event and shared it on Facebook live.

“How are you able to bear it all as witness, as a writer?” Michele Magwood asks.

“I don’t bear it as much as I live it … it’s not a burden, it’s exhilirating. You can’t fight for things with ferocity if you don’t also love with ferocity.” #ArundhatiRoy #ArundhatiRoySA pic.twitter.com/X9cUh0VQcP
