The story is about a budding writer who is always on a look out for an interesting story. He befriends Dr Rann who tells him that he is in Malgudi town to complete his research on a certain subject and that his final work and expertise is on Futurology - on how the world will be different in year 3000. On how a common weed will suck life out of everything.
The writer, TM as he is addressed by all, finds out that Dr Rann has the tact and talent of befriending girls, promising them good life, and finally running away from their lives. He helps Dr Rann's wife in nabbing him, but comes to know later that Rann elopes with a nurse after staying with his wife for a brief time.
An interesting book, with simple language, and engaging text. And my first attempt in completing any book of R K Narayan!
