US writer pens book on India-born animator

A new book launched here on the works of India-born animator Manick Sorcar introduces the Americans to the rich and exotic storyboards of Indian fables and nonsense rhymes that are adapted by Sorcar for making award-winning animation films.

Manick Sorcar, an lighting design engineer by profession, is the son of late legendary Indian magician P.C. Sorcar whose animation films like 'Deepa and Rupa: A Fairy Tale From India', 'The Sage and the Mouse', and 'Sniff' among others won several major awards in international festivals.

East Meets West: The Animation of Manick Sorcar, the newly launched book, is written by Wendy Luna who had earlier done his research paper on the works of the animator.
