Über diesen Titel
Do you believe that a drought of the land which causes many people to die of famine or a drought of the human soul that affects the lives of those nearest to him/her is more devastating?
Can droughts of the soul can be more damaging than those of the soil?
The analogy buried in the book Drought uncovers the dichotomy (or juxtaposition) of both.
In one storyline, we meet Anoop, a boy who lives in 1876 India and is named for water yet battles the lack of water on his family farm. The desire of his heart is to do something great, maybe by bringing water to the world, but he ends up watering in a greater capacity.
In the second storyline, Conifer, named for an evergreen tree, is an autistic twin living in Oregon over 100 years later, who speaks only in rapped song lyrics. This human Conifer needs to be watered to enable him to grow and become the mature man that he was destined to be, despite having a father who nurtures his son’s roots with nothing but drought.
The reality that we all need water to survive is artistically portrayed in this analogical tale with a touch of history and science added for depth.
