R. K. Narayan is considered by many critics in India and abroad as the best Indian novelist in English. He is the only great Indian writer in English who spent the whole of his life in India and portrayed the life and society around him. Many of Narayans novels have pre-independent India in the background or settings. They bring out the influence of Western values on the East, and conversely, the influence of Eastern values on the West. There are several occasions of confrontation between theses values but at the same time one finds assimilation, absorption and amalgamation of these cultural values throughout the novels. Prof. K. V. Dominic substantiates this multicultural consciousness analyzing several novels of Narayan in this book.
