R. K. Narayan

The Talkative Man tells the story of a mysterious stranger who arrives at the Malgudi train station to pursue a purported U.N. project. The stranger winds up staying at Talkative Man's home, where he begins to seduce the librarian's daughter.

I love RK Narayan’s books. Despite being the writer’s fan, I didn’t smile often when I read Talkative Man. The story ended before it could draw me in. Sadly, the book didn’t offer the deep sigh that one heaves after reading the last page. I only thought: Was it really RK Narayan? On the other hand, I don’t want to be too critical. Because, it was RK Narayan after all. :) He was the one who gave me The English Teacher and A Tiger for Malgudi. Full review here: https://worncorners.wordpress.com/201...
