Resumen del Editor
"This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. I found myself standing dangerously close to the edge of a cliff. Far below me was an incredible abyss with no end in sight. I could turn back and safely return to where I had come from, or I could throw caution to the wind, lift my arms up into the air...and jump." (From The Elephants in My Backyard)
What happens when you spend 10 years obsessively pursuing a dream, and then, in the blink of an eye, you learn that you have failed, that the dream will not come true?
In 2003, Rajiv Surendra was filming Mean Girls, playing the beloved rapping mathlete Kevin Gnapoor, when a cameraman insisted he read Yann Martel's Life of Pi.
Mesmerized by all the similarities between Pi and himself - both are five-foot-five with coffee-colored complexions, both share a South Indian culture, both lived by a zoo - when Rajiv learns that Life of Pi will be made into a major motion picture he is convinced that playing the title role is his destiny.
In a great leap of faith Rajiv embarks on a quest to embody the 16-year-old Tamil schoolboy. He quits university and buys a one-way ticket from Toronto to South India. He visits the sacred stone temples of Pondicherry, he travels to the frigid waters off the coast of rural Maine, and explores the cobbled streets of Munich. He befriends Yann Martel, a priest, a castaway, an eccentric old woman, and a pack of Tamil schoolboys. He learns how to swim, to spin wool, to keep bees, and to look a tiger in the eye. All the while he is really learning how to dream big, to fail, to survive, to love, and to become who he truly is.
Rajiv Surendra captures the uncertainty, heartache, and joy of finding ones place in the world with sly humor and refreshing honesty. The Elephants in My Backyard is not a journey of goals and victories, but a story of process and determination. It is a spellbinding and profound book for anyone who has ever failed at something and had to find a new path through life.

Marina Keegan's star was on the rise when she graduated magna cum laude from Yale in May 2012. She had a play that was to be produced at the New York International Fringe Festival and a job waiting for her at the New Yorker. Tragically, five days after graduation, Marina died in a car crash. Even though she was just 22 when she died, Marina left behind a rich, expansive trove of prose that, like her title essay, captures the hope, uncertainty, and possibility of her generation.

Flor would be 13 years old. The group's charismatic leader, Father David, kept the family on the move, from Los Angeles to Bangkok to Chicago, where they would eventually disband, leaving Flor to make sense of the foreign world of mainstream society around her.

Liz Murray was born to loving but drug-addicted parents in the Bronx. In school she was taunted for her dirty clothing and lice-infested hair, eventually skipping so many classes that she was put into a girls' home. At age 15, Liz found herself on the streets when her family finally unraveled. She learned to scrape by, foraging for food and riding subways all night to have a warm place to sleep. Then, when Liz's mother died of AIDS, she decided to take control of her own destiny.

Charles Wang is mad at America. A brash, lovable immigrant businessman who built a cosmetics empire and made a fortune, he's just been ruined by the financial crisis. Now all Charles wants is to get his kids safely stowed away so that he can go to China and attempt to reclaim his family's ancestral lands - and his pride. Outrageously funny and full of charm, The Wangs vs. the World is an entirely fresh look at what it means to belong in America - and how going from glorious riches to (still name-brand) rags brings one family together in a way money never could.

Clara Brodeur has spent her entire adult life pulling herself away from her famous mother, the renowned and controversial photographer Ruth Dunne, whose towering reputation rests on the unsettling nude portraits she took of her young daughter from the ages of three to 14. As Clara charts a path connecting her childhood with her adult life, Shapiro's novel weaves together past and present in images as stark and intense as the photographs that tore the Dunnes apart.

Captivating!
One of the best books I’ve read / listened to in the last 20 years. Heartwarming, self- deprecating, humorous, and inspiring. Just what is needed at the moment. Brilliant. Rajiv’s charm shine’s through.

Wonderful and relatable story
I bought the book in hardcover shortly after it was published. But I felt that I needed to hear Rajiv tell his story himself.
I was not disappointed having done so. Rajiv makes the story become alive and so much more relatable than when it is just words on paper.

The Elephants in My Backyard - fascinating read
What a feast of a book!
Rajiv gives insights into the behind the scenes world of the entertainment business as he works toward becoming perfect for the role in Pi. He’s almost there from the get-go, but needs to fill in some blanks.
His journey is fascinating, inspiring and deflating. Like all good stories, I devoured his, bereft when I’d finished the book as my adventure was over.
There are a few spots in the book that deserve a heads-up warning for any parent of a younger reader. Apart from that, I wholeheartedly recommend this book of an example of life, it’s twist and turns, how we rise to the occasion and handle defeat, the challenges and triumphs, the choice of staying true to oneself vs being fluid and open to experiences.
I learned of this book through a serendipitous sighting of a YouTube video featuring ‘ordinary’ people who had decorated their homes “Handmade” (by HGTV I believe).
The book was not readily available, (except for on Audible, hence my new subscription) which I’m quite surprised at, as I feel it has universal appeal. It deserves to be in bookstores everywhere and I shall endeavor to secure hard copies for my both my personal AND public library!

More than Elephants
What a wonderful, poignant, entertaining story read by the gifted author/actor/artist. It was so much more than I expected and with each chapter I felt drawn in as if I were Rajiv’s confidante, wishing him the best, laughing with him and second guessing his decisions. If you’ve ever wanted anything, you must read this book.

I needed this story
I chose this audiobook because I love both Mean Girls and Life of Pi, and I was looking for entertainment during my commute. This book was not only entertaining, it was heartwarming and inspiring. I recently have been struggling to figure out what to do with my life after a dream-rending rejection. Hearing that Rajiv went through the same thing and came out on the other side happy in a way he’d never considered…it gives me hope.

An unexpected gem
I was fully captivated by the incredible story telling and authenticity of Rajiv.
I flip through my included plus collection quickly at times when an unknown author or story fails to bring me in, this one I couldn’t wait to get back to any time I had to pause it.
The universal experience of failure and what we make of it was told with nuance and empathy. Rajiv doesn’t just say what has happened in his life, he evaluates it, he makes sense of it, and in doing so he becomes relatable in the sense of narratives like The Alchemist, every persons journey is exquisitely unique and entirely universal at the same time.
I laughed, I cried, I felt comforted by his words and engaged in his story. Highly recommend this for anyone who values authenticity, art, and storytelling. It is masterfully done.

Fabulous memoir
I loved this memoir. I was moved, inspired and nourished by Rajiv’s wisdom. He has a beautiful voice which just makes the story so much richer and a delight to listen too.
