"he was in the throes of composition, in a wilderness of doubts and misgivings - not only about the material and its validity but a fundamental harrowing doubt about his competence to write at all. What evil genius impelled me to undertake this task? What conceit? Waste of time ... With all the self-criticism on one side, he was still struggling to whip the pen on, not having the heart to stop it. But it was a torment."
-- R. K. Narayan, "The world of Nagaraj"
