  • R. K. Narayan, shortened from Rasipuram Krishnaswami Iyer Narayanaswami at the behest of Graham Greene, was one of India's greatest English language novelists, known for his works based in the fictional town of Malgudi. Narayan's works showcased his ability to highlight the social context and provide a feel of the characters through the simple narration of everyday life. He was often compared to the William Faulkner since both their works brought out the humour and energy of ordinary life and also displayed compassionate humanism. Along with Mulk Raj Anand and Raja Rao, Narayan forms the triumvirate of Indian literature in English. He is credited with bringing English language writing from India to the rest of the world.
  • R. K. Narayan war einer der bekanntesten indischen Romanautoren, der ausschließlich auf Englisch schrieb. Berühmt geworden ist der Autor, der der höchsten indischen Kaste der Brahmanen angehörte, unter anderem durch seine Vielzahl an Romanen, die in der fiktiven Kleinstadt „Malgudi“ im Süden Indiens spielten. Sein erstes Werk „Swami and Friends“ aus dem Jahre 1935 verhalf ihm zu seinem fulminanten internationalen Durchbruch. Sein humoristischer und energiereicher Schreibstil wird häufig mit dem von William Faulkner verglichen.
