Clap books

The Phalke Puran, reaching for a metafigure from a man.it is bits and pieces and all over the city. different publishers, impossible tales. Alchemic rat.Mooshak ki kahani. Kamal Swaroop panditji turns lion on being shot with Marey's photogun. interspered with humane precise realism.Phalke is a changed man when he returns home to Baroda. I need to look for more of these- maybe these are the more popular ones? The City library had the most boring hagiographies selling. Here, on the streets, where there are tubelight covers with moth patterns on them are being sold, and keychains are blinking malevolently, the Phalke story sings and dances between these pages.

{ to make- small books- Phalke puran of various pieces, each fragment rich, the joiniries suggested but not absolute)
