Malgudi Days (Hardcover)  | Released: 01 Jan 2017

Malgudi Days is among Narayan's collection of short stories. The stories written with Narayan's simple style and characteristic gentle irony potray the variety and colour of Indian Life. Narayan in his introduction says: "I have named this volume Malgudi Days in order to give it a plausibly geographical status. I am often asked . 'Where is Malgudi?' All I can say that it is imaginary and not be found on any map.. If I explain that Malgudi is a small town in South India I shall only be expressing a half-truth, for characteristics of Malgudi seem to be universal." Readers cannot agree more.
