Media reviews

"In this joyous and frustrating book, the author has given himself the last word. 'The only way to exist in harmony with Annamalai,' his narrator says of a servant, 'was to take him as he was; to improve or enlighten him would only exhaust the reformer and disrupt nature's design.' Even the most grudging critic would not deny R.K. Narayan this self-created epitaph."
