Description

Malgudi Days by R. K. NarayanISBN: 9780143039655 Penguin Books Ltd, 28 August 2015 Soft cover, 256 pages Introducing this collection of stories, R. K. Narayan describes how in India 'the writer has only to look out of the window to pick up a character and thereby a story'. Malgudi Days is the marvellous result. Here Narayan portrays an astrologer, a snake charmer, a postman, a vendor of pies and chappatis all kinds of people, drawn in full colour and endearing domestic detail.
