Synopsis:
Fresh from the presses of the Truth Printing Works, the weekly edition of The Banner enjoys a certain distinction. Srinivas, its editor and sole contributor, concerns himself with artistic and intellectual problems: Mr. Sampath, its printer, amicably shoulders the financial burdens. When the paper folds - a surprise to them both - Mr. Sampath sees a way to save an equable partnership. With splendid magnanimity he arranges for Srinivas to write film scripts for Sunrise Productions. Unfortunately, the glamor of it all goes to Mr. Sampath's head, and his sudden change of fortune leads to sublime, unmitigated chaos.
Review:
"The novel has some strong passages....It gives us Narayan's first glimpse of independent India, where he shows the old colonial world being cracked open....But, on the whole, MR. SAMPATH must be considered an example of the hit-or-miss quality of Narayan's writing after independence. It is where the natural novelist, the unprejudiced observer, stays dominant over the philosopher...that the novels work best...."
V.S. Naipaul, 1976
