Hungry Humans by Karichan KunjuMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
In my career of four decades, I came across just about a couple of cases of Hansen’s Disease – and that too in the initial stages; and never had the opportunity of treating this chronic disease.
This book has all the elements of a rollicking good story – hedonism, ascetism, incest, cretinous offspring as a result of inbreeding (marrying one’s sister's daughters!), paedophilia, unbridled lust, polygamy, births, sickness, deaths, spirituality. If there is a message or moral in the story, it bypassed me.
For non-Tamilian readers like me, I wish the glossary was more comprehensive.
