This was a lovely experience. These stories made me think and were so vivid in my mind. Every character was complex and complicated, I was unsure if I should love or dislike them. I loved how Narayan can create characters and an atmosphere with so few pages. My favorite stories were The Snake-Song, Forty-five a Month, The Axe, A Willing Slave, Leela's Friend, Naga, Cat Within, God and the Cobbler, and Hungry Child.
