The emotional centre of the novel is occupied both by the narrator's grandmother and by Tridib, who gives the boy eyes to see the world with imaginative precision. Tridib is the narrator's idol and elder kinsman, who believes that “we could not see without inventing what we saw.” He filled the narrator's childhood with stories because “everyone lives in a story … because stories are all there are to live in.”
