dreams_libraryDoes anyone know of any books in English that are about Karna? Fiction, nonfiction, or anything! Even anthologies (of nonfiction or fiction pieces) that contain a piece about Karna are welcome!
I would be particularly interested in reading stuff that takes a look at Karna's story in terms of real-life issues related to the caste system/reform of the caste system*, but anything at all would be great, really. :)
*and I hope I phrased that okay, since I know basically nothing about the subject!
ETA: Books about Bhishma are also good! I don't know much about him, but what I do know is intriguing.
