不管是在国内或者国外,纳拉扬都是读者接受面最广的印度英语小说家。这既跟其作品内容,也跟其写作风格有关。他70年的创作生涯围绕着一个虚构的南方城镇马尔迦迪,顺时展开,人物主要是镇上的中产阶级——教师、商人、手艺人。通过他们的沉浮来表现印度人普遍相信的人生轮回,苦涩中略带甘甜。其长篇不长,短篇实短;风格平实恬淡,有无声胜有声的特点。 Whether at home or abroad, Narayan is the reader most widely accepted Indian novelist. This is related to both the content of the work and the style of writing.

Through their ups and downs to show Indians generally believe in the cycle of life, slightly bitter sweet. Its length is not long, the short short; style and tranquil, there is no sound Shengyin features.
