Abstract

R. K. Narayan, one of the most dominating literary figures in the history of Indian Writing in English, is one of “the Big Three” as called by the critic William Walsh. The other two novelists are Raja Rao and Mulk Raj Anand who gave a new direction to Indian English Literature. Narayan is credited to have introduced the imaginary world of Malgudi to the readers in his very first novel. It came into existence with his very first novel, Swami and Friends published by Hamish Hamilton in Oxford University Press in 1935. Thereafter, he climbed the ladder of success and never looked back. Malgudi is the heart and soul of his novels.
