Question
After being shot by a college student, one of these animals stays alive by telling stories of his past life as a 19th-century poet and freedom fighter in the novel Red Earth and Pouring Rain. One of these animals compares dense vegetation to “indecipherable calligraphy” in a book whose author states, “fixity is always momentary” and claims to “invent” his path while “traversing” it. In the opening fable of a treatise translated as “Loss of Gains” by (*) Arthur Ryder, this animal narrowly avoids being fed to the wife of a crocodile he befriended by offering fruit. A poetic travelogue titled for this animal recounts a journey to the temple city of Galta undertaken by Octavio Paz. These animals eat crumbs of dropped puffed rice and attack Bobby Das, who is saved by Mr. Kapasi, in the story “The Interpreter of Maladies.” For 10 points, what animals include vanaras such as Hanuman? ■END■
