	LIFE OF ENG & CHANG Bunker
		Chang and Eng had for a long time been very greatly dissatisfied with the conduct of Captain Coffin who as they alleged received very large sums as the proceeds of the exhibitions and always refused to pay over anything to them saying he was to pay all over to their mother.
		Chang and Eng prosecuted their farming operation with great energy and industry; but not with quite so much success as they wished for so that they occasionally bought and sold property with a view to profit; and it was very well they did because their constantly increasing family called for greater outlay every year.
		Eng's oldest daughter, Miss Kate M. Bunker, a young lady of brilliant and well cultivated mind had been for some time growing more and more delicate in health; and it was greatly feared by her family and acquaintances that she was beginning to fall a prey to a fatal malady.

	Wikinfo \| Chang and Eng Bunker
		Chang Bunker and Eng Bunker (May 11, 1811 - January 17, 1874), born in Siam (now Thailand), to their parents Ti-eye and Nok, were the twin brothers whose condition and birthplace became the basis for the term Siamese twins, a synonym for "congenitally joined twins".
		The Bunkers settled on a plantation, bought slaves, and adopted the name "Bunker" and were accepted as respected members of the community.
		Chang and Adelaide (Yates) Bunker, went on to have 10 children: Eng and Sallie (Yates) Bunker had 11.

		Eng won her over and Chang had to be content with her sister Adelaide.
		Chang actually controlled the legs, thus the mobility for both twins was limited.
		Concerning Chang and Eng Bunker, I find it remarkable that two men joined by a mere band of chest tissue would have such an extensive physical co-dependency, that one brother -- as you mentioned in your narrative about them -- would be dominant in the legs, compared to his twin.

		This much is known: Conjoined twins attached at the chest, Chang and Eng Bunker were born in poverty in Siam, were taken abroad and displayed as a human curiosity by an unscrupulous promoter, and with the help of P.T. Barnum, gained control of their professional lives as entertainers.
		Where I have changed or discarded or enhanced or invented the ins and outs of Chang and Eng's life, it is only to make the narrative fit the constraints of fiction.
		Chang and Eng were given no say in the decision that resulted in two of them leaving Siam.

		Upon seeing the "double monster," the king changed his mind and kept the identical duo in his court as curiosities, whom he alternately indulged with education and wealth and exploited as freak-show attractions.
		Chang and Eng traveled the world as a circus act (including a stint for P.T. Barnum) and achieved a level of celebrity that warranted visits with the czar of Russia and Britain's Queen Victoria.
		Beyond Strauss' agile treatment of the complexities of intimacy and independence, "Chang and Eng" is an ambitious undertaking for another reason: The story is told through the eyes of Eng, the shy alter ego of boisterous Chang.

		Narrated by Eng, one of a pair of conjoined twins, Chang and Eng is a daring novel that constantly threatens to lose its balance.
		Like the (literally) inseparable protagonists of Darin Strauss's debut, Chang and Eng Bunker were born in the early 1800s in a rainy village on the shores of the Mekong Delta.
		This fictionalized version of their story is narrated by the stronger, more circumspect twin, Eng, who must continually urge Chang to restrain his tears, his burning sexual desires, and his fear of the King of Siam (who has promised to "kill the double-child, the bad omen").

	The Austin Chronicle Books: Summer Reading
		Chang and Eng is more fiction than fact, as good novels always are, and is told with a yearning urgency from Eng's memory.
		Eng is a stoic, a voracious reader of Shakespeare who aches for separation from his brother; Chang is a boyish showman with bad English who grins and chuckles his way through their burlesque performances.
		And those cut apart made their wayward rounds, a gang of halves in a tipsy dance," Eng tells us, and his waking reality is no less frightening, no less affecting, when conveyed by this brave and generous newcomer.

		And we have no idea what was inside their body, although, judging from the outer appearance, they seemed to be joined at the sternum by a thin piece of cartilage.

	Reading Group Guide \| CHANG AND ENG by Darin Strauss
		The product of three years of intensive research, Darin Straus has limned Chang and Eng as the story of the two told by Eng on his deathbed as he remembers his life, his conjoined twin lifeless beside him.
		Grand in scope, vivid in detail, and sublimely moving, Chang and Eng is a story that reveals the longing and humanity of two very different men who exited this world as they entered it—bonded together by common flesh.
		For Strauss is able to do in writing for these famous Siamese twins what nobody could do for them in their lifetime — he separates them.
