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.

Every literature student should have space on her shelf for the complete works of R K Narayan. Or at least for a Malgudi omnibus, the fictional town in which he set many of his novels
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
