Paperback, NEW
Written by: R K Narayan
Railway Raju is a disarmingly corrupt tourist guide, who lives by his wits and falls in love with a beautiful dancer. More by chance than skill, he seduces her away from her husband, a lonely writer who is obsessed with local rock-carvings, and transforms her into a celebrity courted by wealthy and influential dignitaries wherever she performs.
The Guide floats as gently as a lily pad on the surface of Indian life and yet suggests the depts beneath. It manages to describe a saint who is neither born nor made but simply happens, almost like a weather.
