R. K. Narayans Fiction: A Search For Roots and Identity

The present book endeavours to touch a major vein of R. K. Narayan's fictional art that creates in the presentation of the individual, an epic of the ordinary. Theoretically speaking, this book attempts to be a modest contribution to the increasing bulk of recent literary theories and principles that seeks to re-situate Malgudi in a new light 'that never was on sea or land' and her characters in the fitment of predicaments peculiarly like our own.
