Thus Sudhir does what he can, in the closing pages of the narrative, to describe just how sad the transition away from Robert Taylor has been for him – and the kinds of dislocation JT experiences soon thereafter, when the Homes are finally torn down. In this way, the book reflects just how difficult it is for any group to move on and change – especially a group whose circumstances, like those in Robert Taylor, are difficult, pressing, and materially constricted. One gets the sense that Sudhir is deeply appreciative of JT’s role in his life, and that JT feels the same way – even if it is hard for each party to express this to the other.
