| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | Forty essays, travel pieces, character sketches and short stories from India's greatest living novelist, the majority collected here for the first time. The three sections of the book - 'The Fiction-Writer', 'Short Essays' and 'Malgudi Sketches and Stories' - provide a rare glimpse into R.K.Narayan's beginnings as a writer and his evolution into a world renowned novelist. More importantly, each essay and story is in itself a triumph of Narayan's genius as a close and perceptive observer of the small and ordinary things of life...Finally, taken together, the pieces in this collection (on crowds, films, restaurants, clothes, cats, the English language and school-children among others) give the reader fresh insights into the distinctive aspects of the Indian South which finally achieved immortality in the fictional world of Malgudi. |
