SUMMARY OF THE TAILOR

The Tailor is the story of a tailoring business, Threads of Arrow Street, and the changing relationship between its founder, Anjali Darji, and her assistant, Panja, whom Anjali’s tailoring uncle imposes on the fledgling business.

This novella explores the way our experiences and concerns create a lens through which we interpret events; and through which we devise our individual strategies to achieve purpose in life, construct our critical objectives, and define our understanding of a successful or worthwhile condition.

The Tailor, which is written with an intentionally creative framework, is also the story of a river that runs just beyond Arrow Street in the same – and unstoppable – way that time inevitably does.

ABOUT THIS WORK

The Tailor was designed to illustrate a range of creative techniques.

The story uses metaphors and analogies throughout. It also builds passages using ladders and chains of ideas and concepts that make reference to the trade of tailoring.

The creative style of the novella is encapsulated in the following extracts:

The work of the needle and the loom had pulled her ancestors through crumpled and smooth history across at least five generations.

The river was the great designer, creating a pattern in a few seconds and then throwing it away; its waters rubbing out the first idea before moving effortlessly on to the next reflection.
