Radhika Lakshmi Bookshop English Literature R K Narayan Indian literature in English ... GCSE Books What about our own roots? Krishnan's journey in R K Narayan's The English Teacher something has been drained from the adult heart. Belief in the miraculous closes down Krishnan, the central character in The English Teacher , by R. K. Narayan (1906-2001) undertakes an emotional, intellectual, and spiritual journey during the course of the novel. At the start of the novel he is an English teacher, living and teaching at the same school where he was once a pupil, and at the end we see him resigning his post, beginning work at a nursery school, and learning to communicate psychically with his dead wife. He learns and changes during the course of the novel in a way which he could not have predicted at the beginning. The journey takes him from a lifestyle which he found unsatisfactory to finding a set of values and a way of life that he feels he can believe in wholly. Krishnan's change comes about not as a result of any grand plan or ambition, but as a result of his response to a series of challenging circumstances which arise once he begins to take steps away from the cloistered and protective environment of his school.

53. The Hindu : R. K. Narayan, 1906-2001 AS A NOVELIST, R. K. narayan defies easy definition. On the face of it, his novels seem to be insulated from history, circumscribed by a limited geography, http://www.hinduonnet.com/2001/05/16/stories/05162512.htm

Online edition of India's National Newspaper Wednesday, May 16, 2001 Front Page National Southern States Other States ... Next R. K. Narayan, 1906-2001 Faulkner set most of his novels in Yoknapatawpha county, an imaginary region with a mixed or varied population - a sort of fictional scale model for the American South. Similarly, Malgudi, the small imaginary South Indian town, provided the fictional setting for most of R. K. Narayan's works ever since he wrote the first sentence about it: ``The train arrived in Malgudi station.'' Narayan invested this mythical place with a life-like intensity which is immediately recognisable - a place where Graham Greene thought you could traverse ``into those loved and shabby streets and see with excitement and a certainty of pleasure... the cinema, the haircutting saloon, a stranger who will greet us, we know, with some unexpected and revealing phrase that will open the door of yet another human existence''. It is a place, the English novelist wrote, that is ``more familiar than Battersea or the Euston Road''. Narayan's friendship with Greene began in 1934 when he came across a manuscript of Swami and Friends and was impressed enough to pass it on to a British publishing house. It was also the beginning of a correspondence between the two writers which lasted until the death of the extraordinary English novelist whose works grappled with complex moral issues in the context of varied political settings. Greene regarded Narayan as one of the finest writers in English of his time, an extraordinary commendation for a man who never moved far from his social origins and who wrote largely about people in a small South Indian town in a prose that was simple and unadorned.

Narayan, author of more than a dozen novels and numerous short stories, is a writer of international stature. Only recently, however, has he received the critical attention that is his due. This lucid and often eloquent study provides both new and devoted Narayan readers with an introduction to his life and work. William Walsh, who makes generous and apt use of quotations from Narayan's work, traces Narayan's artistic development and brings into clear relief the qualities that characterize his fiction: gentle irony, humor, and a tolerance of human foibles. Both a criticism and an appreciation, this work will prove valuable to those already acquainted with this delightful and important novelist and will lead others to his work for the first time.
