Malgudi Days Paperback

R. K. Narayan's short stories are set in Malgudi, the invented South Indian town he returned to across his whole career. The pieces are short, often built on a single misunderstanding or small reversal, and the cast runs from shopkeepers and astrologers to schoolchildren and minor officials. Narayan writes in plain English with almost no ornament, which is why the collection is used so widely in classrooms and why it reads easily aloud. Indian Thought Publications, the house Narayan himself founded, issues this 247-page paperback. What the stories offer: • Short fiction set in the fictional town of Malgudi • Characters drawn from everyday South Indian small-town life • Plain, unadorned English that suits reading aloud • 247 pages, published by Indian Thought Publications Students, teachers and readers of Indian writing in English can order this Indian Thought Publications edition from Boipoka.
