My Days : An Autobiography - Softcover
In his wrylt funny style, R.K. Narayan shares his life story. In his youth, the dreaming Narayan begins to write fiction against the advice of all. When one of his pieces is accepted by Punch magazine, his life becomes gradually filled with bumbling British diplomats, strange movie moguls, evasive Indian officials and the blind urge to fall in love.

Review:
Interpreting [India's] unique atmosphere with compassion, fidelity, and irony has been Narayan's life's work, and none of India's many gifted writers surpasses him at the task. -- The Los Angeles Times
Narayan is a kind of tapestry-artist; to him the pattern is all, and he sees it everywhere. -- Times Literary Supplement
[Narayan is] such a natural writer, so true to his experience and emotion. -- V. S. Naipaul
[Narayan is] the novelist I admire most in the English language. -- Graham Greene
