One dark moonless night. A lonely road. An ancient forgotten temple that lies in ruins, overgrown with weeds. What really happened there. Meet the Talkative man who was traveling through with Doss - Malgudi's most safe and trustworthy driver. Something inexplicable seems to happen to Doss when he suddenly swerves to avoid hitting an old man, who the Talkative man couldn't see. And then begins a series of unexplainable events. Could this really have happened. Was the driver drunk or is this yet another of the Talkative man's fabulous yarns. Truth or lies, one thing is for sure -- it makes great listening!
It is R.K. Narayan's effortless steering of the vehicle which is the hallmark of all his stories.
