Reading Notes: Anant Pai

Anant Pai

This book describes the great storyteller that Anant Pai was. He was born in 1929 which was the year Tarzan came out. this comic tells the life story of Anant and the struggles that his family went through. It talks about the great teacher he had while he was in college and how he helped shape Anant. This comic shows his slow growth to becoming famous for his comic books. It describes the struggle he went through to become India's most known writer. I found this comic very intriguing because I have been reading a lot of Anant's work. I do not think that this would be a good comic to write about because it is so matter of fact.
