## Description

Malgudi Adventures: By the Bestselling Author of Malgudi Days | Stories of the Iconic Swami and Friends | Ages 10+ : NARAYAN R.K.: desertcart.in: Books

Review: 💯 - Very effective book
Review: Good introduction to the works of R K Narayan - Bought for my daughter and I read it too. I must confess I never quite understood or enjoyed R K Narayan's works that much: there was a split personality about his stories which I could never follow. On the one side there are simple and hard hitting stories (like "The Doctor's Word", which is NOT in this book) and then there are others (like A Tryst at the Temple) where I could not quite understand what the point was. Then, some of the characters (and situations) are exaggerated to such an extent that they become caricatures and we move from the sublime to the ridiculous in the space of a few sentences. But as an introduction to his work this seems to be good - a few original short stories along with extracts from a number of his novels.
