R. K. Narayan and His Characters : A Perspective

Let's now have a look at what R. K. Narayan had to say about the common trend among fiction authors who created works during the crucial period of the nationalist struggle. According to Narayan, the subject of literature has become "inescapably political" during this time of nationalist struggle. The comic mood, atmospheric sensitivity, psychological component probing, human soul crisis and most importantly the detached observation which together make up the content of fiction were thrown to the side. When we take into account Raja Rao and Mulk Raj Anand's works, how amazingly accurate is Narayan's claim? He thinks that this image will resonate with a wider audience outside the group whose psychology and history he is most familiar with, in addition to his own social circle. Whatever the case, it amply demonstrates Narayan's particular tastes, interests and writing goals. According to K.R. Srinivas Iyengar, Narayan has the ability to resolve limitations and do thorough research. In order to focus on a certain scene, feel the mood, and depict a tiny ensemble of actors in all their peculiarities and angularities, he wanted to be an objective spectator. He would also make an effort to look deep inside himself in order to discover the uniqueness in the mundane. Mulk Raj Anand and R.K. Narayan are two of the best fiction authors of India. Nonetheless, despite the fact that Anand writes with a goal in mind and does so because he has a personal or professional grudge. He is an exceptional illustration of a pure artist-a writer who produces only for aesthetical objectives and without taking any other factors into account. His enduring and widespread appeal can be attributed to this. Several languages throughout the world have translated his work and his standing as an artist has been gradually improving. He has always received positive reviews and is undoubtedly one of the most widely discussed fiction authors of Indo-Anglian descent. He has a sizable following in both Britain and the United States, and his works have been translated into many different European and Indian languages. He has likened Jane Austen and Chekov and is regarded as the third best author in American literary history. Graham Greene and Faulkner wrote the other two. India has every reason to be proud of magnificent son of hers because he is the most creative author from India. Greta Garbo was instantly captivated by this man and desired that "time would not lead people to the point of leaving," as she wanted to see him often, he must contain something special and extraordinary within him. To understand this, a discerning reader need not look beyond Narayan's books and short tales
