An Astrologer's Day and Other Stories
by R.K. Narayan
Description
In these luminous short stories, R. K. Narayan turns the ordinary rhythms of Indian life into mirrors for human desire, folly, and resilience. From the celebrated tale of “An Astrologer’s Day,” where a routine consultation spirals into an encounter with the past, to a series of quietly surprising episodes, each story balances gentle humor with a keen understanding of how people maneuver around truth. The collection explores fate and deception, the limits of self-knowledge, and the small choices that can redirect an entire day. With Narayan’s signature clarity and warm, lightly ironic prose, these narratives feel intimate and immediate—yet they linger like universal questions about what we believe, what we hide, and what life reveals when we least expect it.
