The InvisiblesIn this superb work of investigative reporting, Zia Jaffrey pursues the riddle of India's most elusive subculture, the cross dressing and often castrated figures known as "hijras" whose very name means neither male nor female. Are the hijras lucky or dangerous? Are they a nurturing community of outcasts or a criminal network that kidnaps and mutilates recruits? Do they number in the thousands or in the millions?

In this superb work of investigative reporting, Zia Jaffrey pursues the riddle of India's most elusive subculture, the cross-dressing and often-castrated figures known as "hijras" whose very name means neither male nor female. Are the hijras lucky or dangerous? Are they a nurturing community of outcasts or a criminal network that kidnaps and mutilates recruits? Do they number in the thousands or in the millions? As she talks with policemen, a unionizer of eunuchs, and with the hijras themselves, Jaffrey unravels veils of rumor and deception to locate the nature of our sexual and social thresholds, and the people who dwell on them. Deeply resonant, uniquely insightful, The Invisibles is an enthralling work."A magnificent journey. Jaffrey writes about this fascinating and delicate subject with human understanding and warmth."--Ryszard Kapuscinski "Sensitively written...eloquent...and compassionate."--New York Times Book Review

Not as expected.
Size: Large, Color: Blue
Thin material. Not as expected. Planning to wear it for Kentucky Derby but just not appropriate.

Surprisingly good product.
Size: 5X-Large, Color: Grey Black
Came exactly as suspected. When ordering a 3 piece tux I expected to find some sort of problem or something that didn't fit, but I was pleasantly surprised. Looks like the photos and fits as advertised. So very happy. Doesn't look cheap or gimmicky. Thank you!

Good quality stank fishy smell
Size: Small, Color: Silver
Beautiful but it stank badly smells like fish. Wherever y'all have it stored in when y'all have it needs to be cleaned out. Now I have to take it to get cleaned/steamed because of this stank smell. Need give me some of my money back much as it cost. Now I got to pay get smell out of it is ridiculous. Cost to much for this to smell how it smells.
