Book reviews for kids fairy tale7/11/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In other words, it is for this very reason that he, instead of his brother, is chosen to be adopted secretly as the heir to Pashupati, who deals illegally in human bones, skeletons and kidneys, runs a blood farm, cooks and eats the livers of newborn babies to prolong his youth, sells beggar children into adoption, and uses as his alarm clock a string of women whose job it is to fellate him into awakening at the crowing hour of the rooster. Nirip is blessed with one missing kidney at birth, a fate that ironically results in him becoming the “impotent prince of a bloody rotten world". The twist of fate that has separated them is a kidney. “You must tell me your past, all of it," Nirip tells Anguli, “so that we can then decide what to do about the future." It’s that age when one examines just how one’s precious life has been spent, and what that may mean, if anything, for one’s future. The twins in this case, Anguli and Nirip, meet just as their 50th birthday approaches. Chatterjee’s is a “separated at birth" story.
