Summary:
Prepare to enter a world where the rules of morality, human behaviour--even gravity--make no sense. This modern-day Through the Looking Glass is set in India and begins and ends with a severed arm. In between, a leper bites off his finger, a chicken becomes a king, a careless river drowns her lover. By turns philosophical, funny, violent and tender, The
Cripple
and His
Talismans
is a stunning debut for Anosh Irani and a singular evocation of Bombay’s rich, gritty and chaotic underbelly.
Genre:
Magic realism (Literature)
