Blue Skinned Gods

Run Time = 11 hours and 14 minutes

From the award-winning author of Marriage of a Thousand Lies comes a brilliantly written, globe-spanning novel about identity, faith, family, and sexuality.

“It is impossible not to be hypnotized” by this Earphones Award winner (The New York Times). When Kalki is born with blue skin, his parents are convinced he is Vishnu’s incarnation — and as he ages, they test his divinity. “Expertly told by a gifted narrator… Fans of international literature will fall in love with this unique coming-of-age novel” (AudioFile).

In Tamil Nadu, India, a boy is born with blue skin. His father sets up an ashram, and the family makes a living off of the pilgrims who seek the child’s blessings and miracles, believing young Kalki to be the 10th human incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu.

In Kalki’s 10th year, he is confronted with three trials that will test his power and prove his divine status and, his father tells him, spread his fame worldwide. While he seems to pass them, Kalki begins to question his divinity.

Over the next decade, his family unravels, and every relationship he relied on — father, mother, aunt, uncle, cousin — starts falling apart.

Traveling from India to the underground rock scene of New York City, Blue-Skinned Gods explores ethnic, gender, and sexual identities, and spans continents and faiths, in an expansive and heartfelt look at the need for belief in our globally interconnected world.
