Abstract

R. K. Narayan is an award winning author of more than a dozen novels and short stories, instead of these, he is popularly known for his Malgudi Days. He was born on 10th Oct. 1906 in Madras British India (now Chennai Tamil Nadu, India). His full name was Rasipuram Krishnaswami Iyer Narayanswami. The life of R.K Narayan is reflected in all his works. The life of middle-class Indian society is the focus of his most of the novels, and each main character goes through a crisis and transformation of some sort, maybe it is an identity or spiritual one. It is important to note that R. K. Narayan wrote solely on his own experiences as a middle-class Brahmin of the fairly high caste-a privileged position that was not the norm of India.
