- Trying_to_Grow abstract "Trying to Grow is a 1991 novel published by Bloomsbury. The novel is semi-autobiographical and set in urban India, about a young boy growing up with brittle bones. The protagonist, who would never grow taller than four feet, finds his way into the world of sexuality and adulthood. It is set in - and humorously describes the Parsi or Parsee community - descendants of the Persian empire who were driven out of Persia by an Islamic invasion more than a thousand years ago and settled in western India. The novel is set in Bombay and is written by Firdaus Kanga. It depicts a defiant non-stereotypical Anglophile Indian family with fond memories of the Raj and everything English. Trying to Grow is told through the eyes of the young boy – called Brit because of his brittle bones and also because it reminds his mother of Britain. Brit grows up to prefer the Kama Sutra to Shakespeare. The novel does not allow gender or disability to come in the way a growing boy’s desire for sex and love.".
