Satire in "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard"

        Kiran Desai uses extensive satire in her book "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard". The satire she uses is more Horatian than Juvenalian. Horatian satire is the more common type, hilariously reflecting stupidity and mistakes. Juvenalian portrays evil and wrong in funny ways, making it significantly more hostile than Horatian satire. In the book, she pokes fun at fortune tellers and psychics by making the main character an ex-post office worker who enjoyed reading all of the letters that came through. He was then fired and became a psychic, where he would merely recall knowledge about these people that he learned from reading the letters. By the townspeople, he is described as having "unfathomable wisdom". They had obviously been tricked by his games. What do you think might happen when word of him leaves the village and attracts visitors from far away?
