"Whoaa so this novel is autobiographical, according to Claude AI. I got suspicious upon reading Narayan’s full name being mentioned somewhere in the first story of The Grandmother’s Tale.

I wonder if it’s only the first story that is autobiographical, since the latter stories turn out to be unrelated to Narayan’s family."

Doris Kearns Goodwin
“Though [Abraham Lincoln] never would travel to Europe, he went with Shakespeare’s kings to Merry England; he went with Lord Byron poetry to Spain and Portugal. Literature allowed him to transcend his surroundings.”
Doris Kearns Goodwin

Nora Ephron
“Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real.”
Nora Ephron

Roy T. Bennett
“Top 15 Things Money Can’t Buy
Time. Happiness. Inner Peace. Integrity. Love. Character. Manners. Health. Respect. Morals. Trust. Patience. Class. Common sense. Dignity.”
Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

Michel Houellebecq
“Only literature can grant you access to a spirit from beyond the grave—a more direct, more complete, deeper access than you’d have in conversation with a friend.”
Michel Houellebecq, Submission

Pierre Alex Jeanty
“Isn’t it ironic that the perfect moment for
them to admit that they need you in their
life is when you finally realize that you’re
well off without them.

In other words,
the devil knows when you are getting close
to heaven.”
Pierre Alex Jeanty, Her
