Book Reviews of Malgudi Days (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: Come, Come, Enjoy a Day-Trip to India
Summary: 5 Stars
Malgudi Days by R.K. Narayan offers the reader a wonderful chance to experience the ordinariness and pleasant magic of life on the Sub-Continent.
This collection of short stories provides an array of vantage points from which the reader can consider Indian life. While meant to be tongue-in-cheek commentaries or light hearted reflections on the social and political realities of India, Narayan doesn't fall short of capturing and relaying a truly authentic feel.
Personally, this book made a wonderful traveling companion as I toured the South of India. The details of the stories were more manifest in the environment around me than in any other part of the country, yet the story themes were in no way constrained by locale. They very much hold a universal appeal.
If you enjoy the writing of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, then you will enjoy the work of R.K. Narayan.
