Arundhati Roy wins #PEN Pinter Prize 2024, jury says ‘her powerful voice not to be silenced"

This year’s jury for the award comprised English PEN chair Ruth Borthwick, actor Khalid Abdalla, and writer Roger Robinson.
Congratulating Roy, Borthwick said that the author tells urgent stories of injustice with wit and beauty.

‘Our congratulations to Arundhati Roy on winning the PEN Pinter Prize 2024. Roy tells urgent stories of injustice with wit and beauty. While India remains an important focus, she is truly an internationalist thinker, and her powerful voice is not to be silenced,’ Borthwick remarked.

“Her books, her writings, the spirit with which her life is lived, have been a lodestar through the many crises and the darkness our world has faced since her first book, ‘The God of Small Things’,” Abdallasaid.

Roy will receive the award in a ceremony co-hosted by the British Library on October 10. She will also deliver an address.

Democracy, the modern world's holy cow, is in crisis. And the crisis is a profound one. Every kind of outrage is being committed in the name of democracy. It has be come little more than a hollow word, a pretty shell, emptied of all content or meaning. It can be whatever you want it to be. Democracy is the Free World's whore, willing to dress up, dress down, willing to satisfy a whole range of tastes, available to be used and abused at will.
