Undoubtedly one of the finest writers India has produced, R K Narayan will always get an award from me for his simple yet eloquent writing style. He's one of India's best authors.
A Tiger for Malgudi I started after coming back from Jim Corbett Park in Uttaranchal. I finished it yesterday. The story takes place from the point of view of the tiger; a fierce creature of the forest who gets captured and is tamed into performing at a circus. An elderly sage finds him and teaches him about kindness, compassion, life - things he did not know about.
It's an interesting book - it gives you food for thought and is philosophical, yet is a simple story woven around a simple plot.
