Summary, etc Acclaimed writer Perumal Murugan returns to his old themes - caste and the world of rural and semi-rural Tamil Nadu - in his new collection of short stories, mingling absurdity and pathos like no one else. The titular story is about a young boy whose job is to police the toilets in a mofussil bus stand and urge users to emerge sooner. 'It is as if shit is stuck on my body', he tells the story's narrator, pleading to be taken away.In 'The Last Cloth', a man who returns to his village after a city education is revolted seeing his mother walk about bare breasted. She however has never worn a blouse, not even in her prime, and is terrified at being asked to in her old age.
