About The Author

R K Narayan's writing spans the greatest period of change in modern Indian history, from the days of the Raj – Swami and Friends (1935), The Bachelor of Arts (1937) and The English Teacher (1945) – to recent years of political unrest – The Painter of Signs (1976), A Tiger for Malgudi (1983), and Talkative Man (1987). He has published numerous collections of short stories, including Malgudi Days (1982), and Under the Banyan Tree (1985), and several works of non-fiction.

Narayan wakes in me a spring of gratitude, for he has offered me a second home. Without him I could never have known what it is like to be Indian

Other text

Narayan’s humour and compassion come from a deep universal well, with the result that he has transformed his imaginary township of Malgudi into a bubbling parish of the world
