R. K. Narayan, on the good advice of Graham Greene, shortened his name from Rasipuram Krishnaswamy Iyer Narayanswamy.
R. K. Narayan was the most popular Indian novelist writing in English from the pre-independence period until the surge of modern novelists who have become popular around the turn of the 21st. century. Most of his novels were set in the fictious small south Indian town of Malgudi and were likened to the intimate stories of the southern United States written by W. Somerset Maugham. Among his best known tales were "The Guide", "The English Teacher", "Waiting for the Mahatma" and "Tales from Malgudi". He ultimately wrote travelogues, memoirs and fifteen novels as well as five volumes of short stories in his fifty years of writing. He died at the age of 95 in 2001.
