About the Book
The book is an attempt to analyze and
evaluate R.K. Narayan's fictional world
in the light of modern and post-modern
concepts. Many books have already
been published, containing good
scholarly essays on his novels and
short-stories. The present book will not
only be a step in the same direction, but
it will also make the reader think and
understand how, even after so much
critical work on Narayan during the last
three decades, there are many quarters
which have not been touched by the
critics and scholars so far.

The book will take the reader to venture
beyond unexplored regions in the
fictional world of Narayan. In addition
to this, it will also benefit critics who
wish to work on Narayan but are unable
to find a suitable topic, and whose
proposals are generally rejected, with a
simple comment that much work has
already been done on this writer and
there is hardly any scope for further
research in this field. The book will be
helpful to students of English Literature
to know how modern approaches and
theories of criticism can be applied to
traditional Indian writers.

The book contains 16 papers. Some
papers are by renowned critics who are
already in teaching profession. A couple
of papers are by research scholars
(working on Narayan for their Doctoral
degree), which have been included
because of their entirely new approach
in this sphere. For a couple of articles,
which have been borrowed from
journals, the permission has already
been taken. These articles have been
included because of their relevance
and insight.
