A Son of the Circus by David Colacci, John Irving
In this Dickensian novel, richly populated with a cast of eccentric characters, the geneticist Dr. Farrokh Daruwalla returns to his native Bombay to collect blood from dwarfs and frequent the circus. He also writes screenplays for the thriving Indian Bollywood film industry. Meanwhile, the film hero Dhar has a fanatical admirer, a boy who passes as a woman, and an identical twin who shows up for the first time. Set in Bombay and Toronto, Irving's eighth novel is partly a murder mystery and partly an examination of the roots of prejudice.
