Amrita (@AmritaIQ) from the dynamite #Booktube channel AMRITA BY THE BOOK ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmyb1ZvLmaDLBsen6QQrO4A ) is here to discuss one of the most important texts from colonial India: R.K. Narayan’s THE GUIDE. Analogous to WIlliam Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpha County or LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, Narayan’s fictional Malgudi is home to Railway Raju, a man who schemes, plans, and falls into becoming a point of spiritual hope in a drought-stricken community.
