Description

At the age of 8, Vijay Prabhu, a young Indian boy in a Catholic boarding school decides to tell his story so that children are never punished unjustly again. Will he succeedl? There are distractions aplenty: girls, puberty, a revolt from religion, extravagant sexual dreams, worldly ambitions, an American Dream, a one-way correspondence with Jackie Kennedy..

The result is "David Copperfield" meeting "Catcher in the Rye." Described as "humorous and manic" (The Independent, London), the novel was an Indian bestseller and published in ten countries and in seven languages; famous American author Kurt Vonnegut called it "very funny." It has also been adapted for the stage and played to many standing room only audiences.
