AnjuMallige - Girish Karnad

I wonder why Girish Karnad always comes up with a crazy story / play which nobody could think of!! . The topics and the storylines which Karnad chooses tend to be way different from any of his contemporaries. I appreciated many of his plays and loved his play HAYAVADANA; nobody can even come up with such a crazy idea.

With all these admirations for him, I read his first play named ANJUMALLIGE. I somehow did not like it and could hardly appreciate anything in it. I feel that he tries to forcibly insert the topic of incest into the play which otherwise looks dull w.r.t to situations and characters. This inturn is giving me doubts if I really understood the play or mis-interpreted it altogether. So, if someone has read this book ( or knows someone who rea dthis book), pls let me know. I need to clarify some points :) :) . Only then I will be able to write a review of it!!
