Abstract

R.K. Narayan has compiled a number of his short tales into a volume titled MalguDi Days: A Study in Abstraction. The short tales all take place in the fictitious town of Malgudi and provide a look into the lives of the people who live there. They examine many aspects of human character, as well as social dynamics and the difficulties of day-to-day living. The way in which Narayan depicts Malgudi might be seen as a little version of the larger universe. The town is a microcosm of the greater civilization, complete with its own distinct set of norms, rituals, and social orders. Through the use of his narrative, Narayan is able to convey the essence of human life. He does this by using the common setting of a tiny village in India to reflect on events and feelings that are shared by all people.
