I really liked our narrator TM... and that post script gave me enough closure :)

A curious little novella...

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/2015/05/20/slow-but-steady/
