	Books \| The god of small things
		RK Narayan brings great world themes to life through the everyday dramas and characters of his fictional Indian town of Malgudi.
		Rasipuram Krishnaswami Narayanaswami (simplified to RK Narayan, at the suggestion of Graham Greene) was a member of a comfortable Brahmin family in Madras.
		Narayan does not start with a generalisation, with a theory; he lets his characters demonstrate to us, through their very ordinary thoughts and actions, what it is to be human.

	R.K. Narayan
		R.K. Narayan (1906-2001), hailed as one of the greatest Anglo-Indian writer died at the age of 95 following a cardio-respiratory failure.
		R.K. Malgudi, the home of many lively characters such as Swami and his friends, Mr.Sampath and Nataraj is a small fictional town in Mysore but to us it seems that the place does exist in reality.
		Narayan was not a trailblazer of "new writing from India"; he travelled rarely, and when he did he wrote essays rather than providing startling interview-copy.

		The more I read R.K. Narayan the more I found similarities between him and Wodehouse and the most remarkable similarity of all is this: Whether you read seven Wodehouse or Narayan novels or just read one novel of either seven times over, the level of enjoyment and empathetic pleasure is the same.
		Narayan is that supreme alchemist who discovered that the ordinary is the most extra-ordinary aspect of civilized living.

		Narayan has the admirable gift of combining our grand Puranic tradition with the current rising tide of subaltern tradition compposed of "small" men and women, such as those untouchables and peasants living among the banks of the Sarayu river in Waiting for the Mahatma, inhabiting the countryside, immersed in their small, intense life-situations.
		Raju, in the words of Narayan's celebrated critic William Walsh, "is an Indian specification of that human type...in whom character exists with a certain formlessness." Walsh empahsises the "messianic past" given to Raju by the present.
		Narayan's penitrating understanding of the woman's question and his portaryal of gender biases in the Indian traidtion from which the tragedies of womanhood emerge, in fact, predate the feminist movement of later times in India.

		Narayan was born in Madras, and his life more or less spanned the century.
		Narayan's early novels are very clearly autobiographical in inspiration, and one of them, The English Teacher, deals with a tragedy which he himself experienced - the loss of a young wife.
		Narayan's marriage had been a love-match, though one which had taken place in the context of all the complicated family negotiations that accompany Hindu marriage.

		In New York Narayan, searching for a gold fish (the story has to be read to be believed), finds herself in a cab with a driver from Kerala who takes her to his home across the Queensboro Bridge.
		Narayan grew up in a middle class home — her father an English professor and her mother a beautician, who held baking classes for the women of the neighborhood.
		Narayan admits that initially when her other pitches to Gourmet were rejected, she felt a little crushed.

	The English Teacher
		Though to the Indian reader, and most importantly to Narayan, who actually experienced this tragedy and wrote after it, the communication between his dead wife and himself was nothing out of the ordinary, but a means of achieving solace and reconciling life and death as we see at the end of the novel.
		However, Krishna (and Narayan) is not ignorant of the aesthetic value of English literature and is not opposed to teaching it as a matter of pride or principle.
		It is to Narayan's credit that he had interwoven this the theme of roots, with the major theme of 'paradise lost and regained', so effectively, that the novel is not a contemptuous and spiteful account of the hatred of the British ruler.

		While much of India considers Narayan as its greatest writer in English, it comes as a pleasant surprise that a whole legion of fans abroad consider him as the one of the three greatest writers (Huxley and Greene being the other two) in English literary fiction of the twentieth century.

	The Sunday Tribune - Books
		The stories, like all Narayan’s works, are acutely perceptive studies of human nature, often brilliantly funny, always forgiving.
		Narayan takes us for a walk along the many streets and culverts of Malgudi, gently observing, never judging, guiding us to see life in its simplicity and to find humour in the most incongruous situations.
		For the sheer content, the ingenuity in story telling, the humane nature of the characters and the response it evokes, the book is an excellent choice for metropolitan youngsters to connect with the real India.

		RK Narayan was born on October 10, 1906 at Chennapatna, a typical sleepy little town of Mysore.
		One of the distinguished traits of the Narayan family was his strict disciplinarian, conservative and absurdly opinionated father RV Krishnaswamy Iyer, who was the headmaster.
		By then, Narayan not only knew the hardships a budding writer has to sustain with, but more cardinally, to be a writer, they are the indispensable requisites.

		RK Narayan throughout his life has been compared to many great authors, but to me he was a man who could understand and capture the essence of life from an Indian perspective in the most simple way.

		S Krishna, editor of A town called Malgudi: The Finest Fiction of RK Narayan (Viking, Rs 395), does a thorough job in reinventing the living metaphor of the great Indian author.
		The Night of the cyclone is based in Vishakapatnam and stands to be an exception in the sense that the story deals with the ferocity of the elements and how they overpower man. The sea on the night of the cyclone "shrieks like a devil".
		The novella by RK Narayanan is again the narration of his noted Talkative man. A catastrophe would have befallen Malgudi if the libertine Dr Rana had been successful in seducing and abducting an innocent schoolgirl who is the granddaughter of the librarian of the Town Hall library.
