Aaron Datty Roy is one of today's most esteemed public intellectuals. The author of novels including the Booker Prize winning The God of Small Things, Roy is equally respected as a political essayist.

In September, Roy came to the Intelligence Squad stage with writer Aleph Shafak to discuss the themes of her new memoir, Mother Mary Comes to Me. for a compelling exploration of her life and work.
