More about the book
Focusing on R.K. Narayan's fiction, this study reevaluates his role in Indian literature by analyzing all his novels in depth. It challenges the perception of Narayan as merely a chronicler of "authentic" Indianness, emphasizing the significance of his South Indian cultural context and its interplay with non-Indian influences. Additionally, the impact of his writing for international audiences on works like Swami and Friends, The Guide, and The Man-Eater of Malgudi is also explored, providing a nuanced understanding of his literary contributions.
