Yesterday I finally finished reading R K Narayan’s The
Painter of Signs… what a brilliant story, what pacing and crafting… my copy dog-eared,
yellowed pages, circa 1986, cost Rs. 17/ ! The book lives up to the accolades on the
back cover. Well worth the trouble of reading in a shaking, moving train
hurtling through the country at 100 kmph. Totally unexpected ending, this one. What terrific characterisation...Will track down and read the rest.
