The Guide by R K Narayan
Raju's first stop after his release from prison is the barber's shop. Then he decides to take refuge in an abandoned temple. Raju used to be India's most corrupt tourist guide - but now a peasant mistakes him for a holy man. Gradually, he begins to play the part.Born and educated in India, R.K.Narayan (1906-2001) wrote fourteen novels, numerous short stories and essays, a biography, and three retold myths. His writing was frequently compared to those of Dickens, Chekhov, Faulkner, and Flannery O'Connor, among others, and was championed by Graham Greene, who became a personal friend.
