南鵲寫了書評。

Sampath 逃家至一番石榴果園，棲息於番石榴樹上。本以為從此逍遙自在，誰知陰錯陽差，竟給當成智者，還上了地方報紙：he is one of unusual spiritual nature, his child-like ways being coupled with unfathomable wisdom (67). Sampath的父親Mr. Chawla腦筋動得快，推波助瀾，前此一事無成的小夥子，遂搖身一變成為大聖人，信徒絡繹不絕，而其避世的果園也成了信徒的聖地與資本主義的樂園：【Mr. Chawla】opened a new bank account and approached business in the area that might be interested in advertising about the orchard, a place that would not only ensure their products a large audience but also endow them with a sanitized glow of purity (91). 神棍斂財，瞞天過海，更有愚夫愚婦執迷不悟，可笑亦復可哀。
