Reading Notes, Sita Sings the Blues


  • Interesting multitude of art styles
    • Various depictions of characters
    • Introduces separation between stories/versions
  • The narrators' confusion betrays various versions of the story that have been told over time
  • In this version it is discussed that Ravana is a decent guy. In R. K. Narayan version he is kind of terrible.
  • Skips over Soorpankha's obsession with Rama
  • Lakshmana is just absent I guess
  • Sita get pregnant in this version?
