Drop of Blood

<p>Mohan Karan has been blessed with exceptional good looks-and a rare blood type. An orphan with few connections he finds that his degree in English literature is unable to secure him a proper job. However he discovers he can make good money by selling his blood to a private blood bank. And while this opens up unexpected possibilities for this unemployed graduate little does he realize that it all comes at great personal cost. <p/>This short blistering novel launched Joginder Paul's literary career cleverly exploring the insidious ways in which the mighty habitually prey upon the vulnerable. Incisive in its observations <i>A Drop of Blood</i> also ably tackles themes of female desire. Snehal Shingavi's lucid translation makes this important work available in English for the first time.</p>
