The Bookseller Who Cannot Read
This is a wonderful story from the People's Archive of Rural India about a bookseller who cannot read. Selling books is not just a trade for him, it's a mission to empower his people, largely illiterate tribals whose "innocence" has been exploited for decades. He learns about interesting books from those who can read, and selects only those that move him. Prospective buyers at his stall are treated to capsule oral book reviews. https://ruralindiaonline.org/en/articles/the-boo
