An Ecocritical Study of Select Fiction of R. K. NarayanThis book delves into the fiction of R. K. Narayan, a celebrated Indian English novelist known for his captivating storytelling and the creation of Malgudi, an imaginary South Indian town that vividly represents Indian middle-class life. Narayan's works are recognized worldwide for their simplicity, humor, and universal appeal. The study takes an ecocritical approach to explore the intricate relationship between humans and their environment, as depicted in his novels and short stories. It investigates how Narayan's fictional universe offers deep insights into the interaction between man and nature, presenting a unique perspective on his narrative artistry.The book begins by situating R. K. Narayan within the larger framework of Indian English literature, a domain that has significantly enriched world literature. Alongside Mulk Raj Anand and Raja Rao, Narayan is regarded as one of the pioneering figures of Indian fiction in English. While his contemporaries focused on socio-political themes, Narayan stood apart by crafting stories rooted in everyday life, domestic issues, and middle-class sensibilities.
