: In his usual winning, humorous style, R. K. Narayan shares his life story, beginning in his grandmother's garden in Madras with his ferocious pet peacock. As a young boy with no interest in school, he trains grasshoppers, scouts, and generally takes part in life's excitements. Against the advice of all, especially his commanding headmaster father, the dreaming Narayan takes to writing fiction, and one of his pieces is accepted by Punch magazine (his "first prestige publication").
: The story describes the complex transition of an adolescent mind into adulthood and the heartbreak which a youth faces. It revolves around a young man named Chandran, who resembles an Indian upper middle class youth of the pre-independence era.
: Narayan's 14th novel to be set in the imaginary town of Malgudi is the tale of Nagaraj, a contentedly aimless man whose only "mission" in life is to write a great treatise on the Sanskrit scholar Narada. His comfortable existence of writing and drinking coffee and observing the world from his mother's veranda is disturbed when his nephew runs away from home to live with Nagaraj because of his father's oppressive ambitions. The outside world has forced itself upon Nagaraj and he must now recognize and even embrace it.
: The Dark Room is another marvelous novel written by R. K. Narayan where rigid traditional values are upheld and held staunchly. There is irony and humour through the poignant pains of the leading female character Savitri. Malgudi, a fabricated town, somewhere in South India, is where the story develops and molds. Here Savitri is a submissive wife who listens to all the harsh abuses sent out to her by her husband Ramani. Ramani works for the elite Engladia Insurance Company and will do anything to satisfy his bosses.Savitri has three children Kamala, Babu and Sumati.
