One
of the greatest story-tellers of the 20th century, R.K. Narayan, turns
94 on October 10. The hallmark of his writing is that he has
successfully fused his own personal philosophy with his literary
endeavour. In fact, if sincerity is the touchstone of all great
literature, then this quality in Narayan, uncompromising, gently
ironic, sympathetic and humanistic, shines through all his work. It
will ensure that Malgudi will live on. Rajnish
Wattas delves
into the world of RKN, and also talks to his biographer N. Ram, to
unravel the magic of Malgudi and its creator.
