The well-stocked library at the school and his father's own fed his reading habit, and he started writing as well. After completing high school, Narayan failed the university entrance examination and spent a year at home reading and writing; he subsequently passed the examination in 1926 and joined <a href="/wiki/Maharaja_College_of_Mysore" class="mw-redirect" title="Maharaja College of Mysore">Maharaja College of Mysore</a>. It took Narayan four years to obtain his bachelor's degree, a year longer than usual. After being persuaded by a friend that taking a master's degree (M.A.) would kill his interest in literature, he briefly held a job as a school teacher; however, he quit in protest when the headmaster of the school asked him to substitute for the physical training master.<a href="#cite_note-A_flood_of_fond_memories-7">[7]</a> The experience made Narayan realise that the only career for him was in writing, and he decided to stay at home and write novels.<a href="#cite_note-Reluctant_centenarian-17">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalsh198213–16-18">[18]</a> His first published work was a book review of Development of Maritime Laws of 17th-Century England.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDatta2007-19">[19]</a> Subsequently, he started writing the occasional local interest story for English newspapers and magazines. Although the writing did not pay much (his income for the first year was nine rupees and twelve annas), he had a regular life and few needs, and his family and friends respected and supported his unorthodox choice of career.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalsh198218-20">[20]</a> In 1930, Narayan wrote his first novel, <a href="/wiki/Swami_and_Friends" title="Swami and Friends">Swami and Friends</a>,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDatta2007-19">[19]</a> an effort ridiculed by his uncle<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMehrotra2003[httpsarchiveorgdetailsisbn_9780231128100page196_196]-21">[21]</a> and rejected by a string of publishers.<a href="#cite_note-Peopling_of_Malgudi-13">[13]</a> With this book, Narayan created <a href="/wiki/Malgudi" title="Malgudi">Malgudi</a>, a town that creatively reproduced the social sphere of the country; while it ignored the limits imposed by colonial rule, it also grew with the various socio-political changes of British and post-independence India.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:RK_Narayan_and_his_wife_Rajam.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/RK_Narayan_and_his_wife_Rajam.jpg/220px-RK_Narayan_and_his_wife_Rajam.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="316" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/RK_Narayan_and_his_wife_Rajam.jpg/330px-RK_Narayan_and_his_wife_Rajam.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/RK_Narayan_and_his_wife_Rajam.jpg/440px-RK_Narayan_and_his_wife_Rajam.jpg 2x" data-file-width="443" data-file-height="636" /></a><figcaption>R.

Despite many astrological and financial obstacles, Narayan managed to gain permission from the girl's father and married her.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> Following his marriage, Narayan became a reporter for a Madras-based paper called The Justice, dedicated to the rights of non-Brahmins. The publishers were thrilled to have a <a href="/wiki/Iyer" title="Iyer">Brahmin Iyer</a> in Narayan espousing their cause. The job brought him in contact with a wide variety of people and issues.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalsh198220-24">[24]</a> Earlier, Narayan had sent the manuscript of <a href="/wiki/Swami_and_Friends" title="Swami and Friends">Swami and Friends</a> to a friend at <a href="/wiki/Oxford" title="Oxford">Oxford</a>, and about this time, the friend showed the manuscript to <a href="/wiki/Graham_Greene" title="Graham Greene">Graham Greene</a>. Greene recommended the book to his publisher, and it was finally published in 1935.<a href="#cite_note-Telegraph-obituary-1">[1]</a> Greene also counselled Narayan on shortening his name to become more familiar to the English-speaking audience.<a href="#cite_note-Economist_obituary-25">[25]</a> The book was semi-autobiographical and built upon many incidents from his own childhood.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEO'Neil20041051-26">[26]</a> Reviews were favourable but sales were few. Narayan's next novel <a href="/wiki/The_Bachelor_of_Arts" title="The Bachelor of Arts">The Bachelor of Arts</a> (1937), was inspired in part by his experiences at college,<a href="#cite_note-In_memory_of_the_Malgudy_Man-27">[27]</a> and dealt with the theme of a rebellious adolescent transitioning to a rather well-adjusted adult;<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAfzal-Khan1993[httpsarchiveorgdetailsculturalimperial00afzapage29_29]-28">[28]</a> it was published by a different publisher, again at the recommendation of Greene. His third novel, <a href="/wiki/The_Dark_Room_(Narayan_novel)" title="The Dark Room (Narayan novel)">The Dark Room</a> (1938) was about domestic disharmony,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPrasad200349-29">[29]</a> showcasing the man as the oppressor and the woman as the victim within a marriage, and was published by yet another publisher; this book also received good reviews. In 1937, Narayan's father died, and Narayan was forced to accept a commission from the government of <a href="/wiki/Mysore_State" title="Mysore State">Mysore</a> as he was not making any money.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalsh198218–23-30">[30]</a> In his first three books, Narayan highlights the problems with certain socially accepted practices. The first book has Narayan focusing on the plight of students, punishments of caning in the classroom, and the associated shame. The concept of horoscope-matching in <a href="/wiki/Hindu_marriage" class="mw-redirect" title="Hindu marriage">Hindu marriages</a> and the emotional toll it levies on the bride and groom is covered in the second book. In the third book, Narayan addresses the concept of a wife putting up with her husband's antics and attitudes.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPrasad200350,_85-31">[31]</a> Rajam died because of <a href="/wiki/Typhoid" class="mw-redirect" title="Typhoid">typhoid</a> in 1939.<a href="#cite_note-A_man-reader_in_Malgudi-32">[32]</a> Her death affected Narayan deeply and he remained depressed for a long time. He never remarried in his life; he was also concerned for their daughter Hema, who was only three years old. The bereavement brought about a significant change in his life and was the inspiration behind his next novel, <a href="/wiki/The_English_Teacher" title="The English Teacher">The English Teacher</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDatta2007-19">[19]</a> This book, like his first two books, is autobiographical, but more so, and completes an unintentional thematic trilogy following Swami and Friends and The Bachelor of Arts.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERamtake199820-33">[33]</a><a href="#cite_note-Flirting_with_adolescence-34">[34]</a> In subsequent interviews, Narayan acknowledges that The English Teacher was almost entirely an autobiography, albeit with different names for the characters and the change of setting in Malgudi; he also explains that the emotions detailed in the book reflected his own at the time of Rajam's death.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalsh198255-35">[35]</a> Bolstered by some of his successes, in 1940, Narayan tried his hand at a journal, Indian Thought.<a href="#cite_note-Yeah2006-36">[36]</a> With the help of his uncle, a car salesman, Narayan managed to get more than a thousand subscribers in <a href="/wiki/Madras" class="mw-redirect" title="Madras">Madras</a> city alone. However, the venture did not last long due to Narayan's inability to manage it, and it ceased publication within a year.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENarayan19927-37">[37]</a> His first collection of short stories, <a href="/wiki/Malgudi_Days_(book)" class="mw-redirect" title="Malgudi Days (book)">Malgudi Days</a>, was published in November 1942, followed by <a href="/wiki/The_English_Teacher" title="The English Teacher">The English Teacher</a> in 1945. In between, being cut off from England due to the war, Narayan started his own publishing company, naming it (again) <a href="/wiki/Indian_Thought_Publications" title="Indian Thought Publications">Indian Thought Publications</a>; the publishing company was a success and is still active, now managed by his granddaughter.<a href="#cite_note-Reluctant_centenarian-17">[17]</a> Soon, with a devoted readership stretching from New York to Moscow, Narayan's books started selling well and, in 1948, he started building his own house on the outskirts of Mysore; the house was completed in 1953.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalsh198224-38">[38]</a> Around this period, Narayan wrote the story for the Gemini Studios film <a href="/wiki/Miss_Malini" title="Miss Malini">Miss Malini</a> (1947), which remained the only story written by him for the screen that came to fruition.<a href="#cite_note-A_flood_of_fond_memories-7">[7]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_busy_years">The busy years</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=R._K._Narayan&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: The busy years">edit</a>]</div> After The English Teacher, Narayan's writings took a more imaginative and creative external style compared to the semi-autobiographical tone of the earlier novels. His next effort was the first book exhibiting this modified approach. However, it still draws from some of his own experiences, particularly the aspect of starting his own journal; he also makes a marked movement from his earlier novels by intermixing biographical events.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalsh198262-39">[39]</a> Soon after, he published <a href="/wiki/The_Financial_Expert" title="The Financial Expert">The Financial Expert</a>, considered to be his masterpiece and hailed as one of the most original works of fiction in 1951.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERamtake199839-40">[40]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESundaram197374-41">[41]</a> The inspiration for the novel was a true story about a financial genius, Margayya, related to him by his brother.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPousse199576-42">[42]</a> The next novel, <a href="/wiki/Waiting_for_the_Mahatma" title="Waiting for the Mahatma">Waiting for the Mahatma</a>, loosely based on a fictional visit to Malgudi by <a href="/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi" title="Mahatma Gandhi">Mahatma Gandhi</a>, deals with the protagonist's romantic feelings for a woman, when he attends the discourses of the visiting Mahatma. The woman, named Bharti, is a loose parody of <a href="/wiki/Bharat_Mata" title="Bharat Mata">Bharati</a>, the personification of India and the focus of Gandhi's discourses. While the novel includes significant references to the <a href="/wiki/Indian_independence_movement" title="Indian independence movement">Indian independence movement</a>, the focus is on the life of the ordinary individual, narrated with Narayan's usual dose of irony.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERamtake199847–48-43">[43]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:RKNarayan-AnthonyWest-LyleBlair.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Three men standing and having a conversation.

The book was reviewed as having a narrative that is a classical art form of comedy, with delicate control.<a href="#cite_note-A_Man_Called_Vasu-44">[44]</a> After the launch of this book, the restless Narayan once again took to travelling, and visited the U.S.<a href="#cite_note-Reluctant_centenarian-17">[17]</a> and Australia. He spent three weeks in <a href="/wiki/Adelaide" title="Adelaide">Adelaide</a>, Sydney and <a href="/wiki/Melbourne" title="Melbourne">Melbourne</a> giving lectures on Indian literature. The trip was funded by a fellowship from the Australian Writers' Group.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESales-Pontes1983-51">[51]</a> By this time Narayan had also achieved significant success, both literary and financial. He had a large house in Mysore, and wrote in a study with no fewer than eight windows; he drove a new <a href="/wiki/Mercedes-Benz" title="Mercedes-Benz">Mercedes-Benz</a>, a luxury in India at that time, to visit his daughter who had moved to <a href="/wiki/Coimbatore" title="Coimbatore">Coimbatore</a> after her marriage. With his success, both within India and abroad, Narayan started writing columns for magazines and newspapers including <a href="/wiki/The_Hindu" title="The Hindu">The Hindu</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_Atlantic" title="The Atlantic">The Atlantic</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERao200422–23-52">[52]</a> In 1964, Narayan published his first mythological work, <a href="/wiki/Gods,_Demons_and_Others" title="Gods, Demons and Others">Gods, Demons and Others</a>, a collection of rewritten and translated short stories from <a href="/wiki/Hindu" class="mw-redirect" title="Hindu">Hindu</a> epics. Like many of his other works, this book was illustrated by his younger brother <a href="/wiki/R._K._Laxman" title="R. K. Laxman">R. K. Laxman</a>. The stories included were a selective list, chosen on the basis of powerful protagonists, so that the impact would be lasting, irrespective of the reader's contextual knowledge.<a href="#cite_note-53">[53]</a> Once again, after the book launch, Narayan took to travelling abroad. In an earlier essay, he had written about the Americans wanting to understand spirituality from him, and during this visit, Swedish-American actress <a href="/wiki/Greta_Garbo" title="Greta Garbo">Greta Garbo</a> accosted him on the topic, despite his denial of any knowledge.<a href="#cite_note-Telegraph-obituary-1">[1]</a> Narayan's next published work was the 1967 novel, <a href="/wiki/The_Vendor_of_Sweets" title="The Vendor of Sweets">The Vendor of Sweets</a>. It was inspired in part by his American visits and consists of extreme characterizations of both the Indian and American stereotypes, drawing on the many cultural differences. However, while it displays his characteristic comedy and narrative, the book was reviewed as lacking in depth.<a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a> This year, Narayan travelled to England, where he received the first of his honorary doctorates from the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Leeds" title="University of Leeds">University of Leeds</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBadal19763-55">[55]</a> The next few years were a quiet period for him.

While he was researching and writing the epic, he also published another book, <a href="/wiki/The_Painter_of_Signs" title="The Painter of Signs">The Painter of Signs</a> (1977). The Painter of Signs is a bit longer than a novella and makes a marked change from Narayan's other works, as he deals with hitherto unaddressed subjects such as sex, although the development of the protagonist's character is very similar to his earlier creations. <a href="/wiki/The_Mahabharata_(R._K._Narayan)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Mahabharata (R.

The work was published as part of a larger government publication in the late 1970s<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESundaram1988132-59">[59]</a> He thought it deserved better, and republished it as <a href="/wiki/The_Emerald_Route" title="The Emerald Route">The Emerald Route</a> (Indian Thought Publications, 1980).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKain1993193-60">[60]</a> The book contains his personal perspective on the local history and heritage, but being bereft of his characters and creations, it misses his enjoyable narrative.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERao200448-50">[50]</a> The same year, he was elected as an honorary member of the <a href="/wiki/American_Academy_of_Arts_and_Letters" title="American Academy of Arts and Letters">American Academy of Arts and Letters</a> and won the <a href="/wiki/AC_Benson_Medal" class="mw-redirect" title="AC Benson Medal">AC Benson Medal</a> from the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Society_of_Literature" title="Royal Society of Literature">Royal Society of Literature</a>.<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a> Around the same time, Narayan's works were translated to Chinese for the first time.<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a> In 1983, Narayan published his next novel, <a href="/wiki/A_Tiger_for_Malgudi" title="A Tiger for Malgudi">A Tiger for Malgudi</a>, about a tiger and its relationship with humans.<a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a> His next novel, <a href="/wiki/Talkative_Man" title="Talkative Man">Talkative Man</a>, published in 1986, was the tale of an aspiring journalist from Malgudi.<a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a> During this time, he also published two collections of short stories: Malgudi Days (1982), a revised edition including the original book and some other stories, and <a href="/wiki/Under_the_Banyan_Tree_and_Other_Stories" title="Under the Banyan Tree and Other Stories">Under the Banyan Tree and Other Stories</a>, a new collection.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERao200450,_120-65">[65]</a> In 1987, he completed <a href="/wiki/A_Writer%27s_Nightmare" title="A Writer's Nightmare">A Writer's Nightmare</a>, another collection of essays about topics as diverse as the caste system, Nobel prize winners, love, and monkeys. The collection included essays he had written for newspapers and magazines since 1958.<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEThieme2007215-67">[67]</a> Living alone in Mysore, Narayan developed an interest in agriculture. He bought an acre of agricultural land and tried his hand at farming.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERao200424-68">[68]</a> He was also prone to walking to the market every afternoon, not so much for buying things, but to interact with the people. In a typical afternoon stroll, he would stop every few steps to greet and converse with shopkeepers and others, most likely gathering material for his next book.<a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a> In 1980, Narayan was nominated to the <a href="/wiki/Rajya_Sabha" title="Rajya Sabha">Rajya Sabha</a>, the upper house of the Indian Parliament, for his contributions to literature.<a href="#cite_note-Storyteller_Narayan_Gone-70">[70]</a> During his entire six-year term, he was focused on one issue—the plight of school children, especially the heavy load of school books and the negative effect of the system on a child's creativity, which was something that he first highlighted in his debut novel, Swami and Friends. His inaugural speech was focused on this particular problem, and resulted in the formation of a committee chaired by <a href="/wiki/Yash_Pal" title="Yash Pal">Prof. Yash Pal</a>, to recommend changes to the school educational system.<a href="#cite_note-71">[71]</a> In 1990, he published his next novel, <a href="/wiki/The_World_of_Nagaraj" title="The World of Nagaraj">The World of Nagaraj</a>, also set in Malgudi. Narayan's age shows in this work as he appears to skip narrative details that he would have included if this were written earlier in his career.<a href="#cite_note-72">[72]</a> Soon after he finished the novel, Narayan fell ill and moved to Madras to be close to his daughter's family.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERao200424-68">[68]</a> A few years after his move, in 1994, his daughter died of cancer and his granddaughter Bhuvaneswari (Minnie) started taking care of him in addition to managing Indian Thought Publications.<a href="#cite_note-Telegraph-obituary-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-Reluctant_centenarian-17">[17]</a> Narayan then published his final book, <a href="/wiki/Grandmother%27s_Tale" title="Grandmother's Tale">Grandmother's Tale</a>.

The story was narrated to him by his grandmother, when he was a child.<a href="#cite_note-Independent,_book_review-73">[73]</a> During his final years, Narayan, ever fond of conversation, would spend almost every evening with <a href="/wiki/N._Ram" title="N.

The apathy towards interviews was the result of an interview with <a href="/wiki/Time_(magazine)" title="Time (magazine)">Time</a>, after which Narayan had to spend a few days in the hospital, as he was dragged around the city to take photographs that were never used in the article.<a href="#cite_note-Yeah2006-36">[36]</a> In May 2001, Narayan was hospitalised.

In addition to his early works being among the most important English-language fiction from India, with this innovation, he provided his western readers the first works in English to be infused with an eastern and Hindu existential perspective.
