An indian Cyrano de Bergerac, about the relationship between an extraordinary street boy and the enemy who came to help.

Animal's People

Simon Elliott Stegall

For a novel with a blatant environmentalist agenda, Animal's People is pretty good. Good characters and plot. A moving analysis of first-world people's inability to comprehend poverty, even after seeing it face to face. I'm reminded once again how fiction is the most effective political tool--empathy is far more powerful than arguments.

Chronicles the relationship between Animal, an extraordinary street boy forced to go about on all fours after his back is twisted beyond repair during the devastating chemical plant accident in Bhopal, India, and Elli Barber, the young American doctor who has come to the area to open a free clinic for the suffering inhabitants of the region. Reprint. 20,00 first printing.
