A boy who doesn't quite understand his lot-until he realizes he's a god...<P>As an only son, Kiran has obligations-to excel in his studies, to honor the deities, to find a nice Indian girl, and, above all, to make his mother and father proud-standard stuff for a boy of his background. If only Kiran had anything in common with the other Indian kids besides the color of his skin. They reject him at every turn, and his cretinous public schoolmates are no better. Cincinnati in the early 1990s isn-t exactly a hotbed of cultural diversity, and Kiran-s not-so-well-kept secrets don-t endear him to any group. Playing with dolls, choosing ballet over basketball, taking the annual talent show way too seriously. . .the very things that make Kiran who he is also make him the star of his own personal freak show. . . <P>Surrounded by examples of upstanding Indian Americans-in his own home, in his temple, at the weekly parties given by his parents- friends-Kiran nevertheless finds it impossible to get the knack of -normalcy.- And then one fateful day, a revelation: perhaps his desires aren-t too earthly, but too divine. Perhaps the solution to the mystery of his existence has been before him since birth. For Kiran Sharma, a long, strange trip is about to begin-a journey so sublime, so ridiculous, so painfully beautiful, that it can only lead to the truth. . . 6295054 1 5 2009 Blue Boy total:88|5:24|4:35|3:25|2:4|1:0| 88 343 211 24 5 0 true false Sun Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Nov 03 04:45:21 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 04:56:36 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 2 false false Sun Jun 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 14:52:06 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 15:28:02 -0700 2009 Blue Boy, Kiran Sharma gets a big splinter in his butt while being tormented on a wooden balance beam by two of his bitchy sixth-grade classmates.
