In this week’s New Yorker, Wyatt Mason serves up a R.K. Narayan profile. For more info on Narayan, check out Jhumpa Lahiri’s essay, which appeared a few months ago in the Boston Review, as well as Pankaj Mishra’s 2001 NYRB essay, and Nandan Datta’s biographical overview.

Narayan’s adaptation of the Ramayana is worth the read for the prose alone. Gorgeous.
