After years of failure as a student and at work, of days spent dreaming in tea stalls and singing to himself in public gardens, it does not seem as if ... Sampath is going to amount to much. Until he climbs a guava tree in search of a life of peaceful contemplationýand becomes unexpectedly famous as a hermit. News of the guru in the tree spreads and as curious visitors, pilgrims and businessmen arrive, Sampathýs family begins to make more money than they had ever dreamed of. But what should they do when a local band of monkeys develops a taste for liquor, and their hullabaloo envelops the guava orchard? Written with rich humour and an eye for the eccentric, this is a magical tale of a world gone slightly mad.
