What is Suprose?

Welcome to Suprose.

Why Su-prose? "Su" in Sanskrit is a prefix for "good". This is a place where we will discuss and analyze prose (with a South Asian Connection) - that which is good, awesome, excellent, and maybe rant about prose that could be better.

Whether you love prose, are a prose expert, or want to learn more about prose, or to put it simply want to have anything to do with prose, this blog is for you.

Happy Birthday R.K. Narayan!




 


"You become writer by writing. It is a yoga." 
- R.K. Narayan


As we think of R.K. Narayan on his birthday, one remembers Malgudi. Like William Faulkner, R.K. Narayan created the fictional town of Malgudi, but nothing could be closer to reality. The colorful characters, each one with depth and meaning added even more dimension to this world that R. K. Narayan created for his readers.

You can read a detailed biography of R.K. Narayan with a list of all the books he published here -
