- Title
R. K. Narayan as a Pragmatic Essayist.
- Authors
Kumar, A. Phaniraja
- Abstract
The first Indian novelist in English of International repute was neither Salman Rushdie nor the Nobel laureate V. S. Naipaul but R. K. Narayan. He has no philosophical or socialistic concern and he is rooted in his limited world. He is primarily preoccupied with man's filling of the life-role entrusted to him by tradition and environment. This aspect is reflected in his Prose-Writings like 'Mysore', 'Emerald Route', 'Next Sunday', 'Reluctant Guru', 'My Dateless Dairy' and 'My Days'. All are personal essays with 'Pragmatic' values for the readers of R. K. Narayan.
