NEW DELHI --
This book, he insists, will be his last.
It's a novel about two old men, written by a 96-year-old who says he can't have much time left.
So after this one, the man who has been a force in India's literary world for more than 60 years, a famously grumpy writer known for everything from beautifully wrought novels to fart jokes, vows to go silent.
Khushwant Singh says it's time to try something different.
"I have to teach myself to do nothing. In the last phase of a man's life, according to the Hindu tradition, you're meant to be a forest dweller."
