Being a writer on a book tour doesn't allow for much sleep --- I hadn't slept more than four hours a night for a week.
I checked my watch.

We were in my room at the Chanakya Hotel, Patna.
This morning, he had tried to stop me on my way out. Then he had waited for me all day; I had returned late at night to find him sitting in the hotel lobby.

And now here we were in my room as he pulled out three tattered notebooks from his backpack.
The spines of the notebooks came apart as he plonked them on the table.
The yellowing pages fanned out between us.
The pages had handwritten text, mostly illegible as the ink smudged.
Many pages had holes, rats having snacked on them.
