Abstract
The purpose of this study is to show that R. K. Narayan uses magical realism as a technique in writing. Examples of this technique can be found in his novels The English Teacher and A Tiger for Malgudi, which show the writer’s ability to deal with hybridity, autobiography, myth, and colonization as important elements related to magical realism in literature. This thesis researches into the definition of magical realism and how it can be applied to the Indo-English literature, with a special reference to Narayan’s selected novels. Discussing ideas about magical realism, this thesis tries to prove that the artistic trend of the movement can be applied to other writings than Latin American ones. Much is written about such a literary movement; however, the focus is, on generally, upon the authors of Latin America. This study proves the possibility that magical realism can be applied to the novels of non-Latin American writers. R. K. Narayan is the focus of this thesis, where a discussion is made about two of his novels : The English Teacher and A Tiger for Malgudi. A survey is made of the brief history of magical realism in literature, with a special reference to its major features as well as its main figures who add a lot to the literary trend.
