His novels are full of realism and present mirror image of microcosmic India caught in the conventions, traditions and social changes. His characters are lively presentations of common Indians. Events reflect the real happenings of society. His heroines are replica of common Indian women, Narayan despite living like a pure Indian absorbed in religion and family has successfully achieved a feat of expressing his creative urge in an alien language, i.e. English, and has become one of the most popular novelists of the world. The book The Fictional World of R.K. Narayan is a humble attempt to assign him a due place among the Indian English novelists of international repute. The book reveals as to how R.K. Narayan presents the most lively and realistic pictures of Indian society in his novels. The artistic presentations is full of gentle irony and light humour. (jacket).
