What do these things have in common? A remorseful demonic fluffy bunny; a beautiful genie chained to a toilet; and a death-marked craps champion? These characters are just some of those who inhabit the fable/freak show universe of Initial Incidents. With an eclectic mix of poetry and short fiction, the odder side of life is exposed--from the true meaning of feline-human relationships to the importance of honoring the lowly termite. Does any tale ever truly end, or is each merely an initial incident to a larger story?

The increasing number of dams built in the last century has underlined the necessity of these constructions to the all-round development of a country.
