Question

Discuss the novel the guide by rk narayan as a picaresque novel

Answer 1

Answer :

R.K.Narayan's The Guide is neither a rogue novel or picaresque novel proper. It is a novel of character transformation. No , there are certain shades of similarity between the characters of Tom Jones and Raju. Narayan has beautifully exposed the hypocrisy and shams of Indian social life through the character of Raju.
