Young Indian Woman Writer
Young writer’s face, curious, asks, “did you read my novel?”
“Yes,” I reply. “This weekend.”
“What do you think?”
“ I mixed up some of the characters at first, “ I said. “But then I was okay.”
“Was it a book you couldn’t put down?”
I’m not sure how to answer the question: I can’t think of a book I haven’t been able to put down. “I read it during three separate sessions. Had a busy weekend. It flows nicely.”
Young writer’s face lights up. Her broad smile lights room. Eyes flash, delighted. She turns to go. Clutching her photocopied fantasy-romance or romance-fantasy novel in hand she turns to go. “I’ll bring you another one.”
