*Malgudi
is a fictional description of a place discovered by R.K.Narayan for his novels.
* Malgudi has been partly crafted out of Geography
and partly crafted out of Narayan’s imagination
*Wessex is to Thomas Hardy what Malgudi is
to Narayan & yoknapatawpha to William Faulkner.
*Malgudi is really the middle class world of
the small town. Malgudi is located on the banks of the river sarayu. Mempi
forest is on the other side of sarayu.
*Malgudi is a bit modern place with Albert
Mission college, the Co-operative Bank, The Railways, The Lawley Road, Kabir
street, Bombay Anand Bhavan and Truth printing works.
* Malgudi is the favoured backdrop of Narayan’s novels and his uncanny ability
to carve this one inch of ivory to perfection certainly deserves kudos.
