具体描述
"I used to be human once. So I'm told. I don't remember it myself, but people who knew me when I was small say I walked on two feet, just like a human being..."Ever since he can remember, Animal has gone on all fours, his back twisted beyond repair by the catastrophic events of "that night" when a burning fog of poison smoke from the local factory blazed out over the town of Khaufpur, and the Apocalypse visited his slums. Now just turned seventeen and well schooled in street work, he lives by his wits, spending his days jamisponding (spying) on town officials and looking after the elderly nun who raised him, Ma Franci. His nights are spent fantasizing about Nisha, the girlfriend of the local resistance leader, and wondering what it must be like to get laid.When Elli Barber, a young American doctor, arrives in Khaufpur to open a free clinic for the still suffering townsfolk -- only to find herself struggling to convince them that she isn't there to do the dirty work of the Kampani -- Animal gets caught up in a web of intrigues, scams, and plots with the unabashed aim of turning events to his own advantage.Profane, piercingly honest, and scathingly funny, "Animal's People" illuminates a dark world shot through with flashes of joy and lunacy. A stunning tale of an unforgettable character, it is an unflinching look at what it means to be human: the wounds that never heal and a spirit that will not be quenched.

Shocking. And I'm going to spoil it: hey this IS fiction!
评分虚幻和真实....
评分slow violence
评分I liked the conflict between Eli and the locals, very reflective of the commonly seen clash between western and indigenous medicine. The ending was a bit too ideal. I felt that it downplayed the lasting pain of Bhopal people.
评分小说太复杂，有关宗教和音乐的部分基本完全看不懂。但是Animal绝对是独一无二的主人公，一开始觉得他就是个混蛋接近结尾处才开始欣赏他的acidic humor。最后作者以一种审美的安慰代替真正的正义或和解，还是非常合理。
