The essays exist between the novels not as a wall but as a bridge. Roy's subject and obsession is, throughout, power: who has it (and why), how it is used (and abused), the ways in which those with little power turn on those with less-and, importantly, how to find beauty and joy amid these struggles.
Her essays, in turn, are as powerfully and lovingly written as her fiction, with the same suspicion of purity, perfection, and simple stories.
