Abstract
The narrative technique is an inseparable part of the novel. Narayan employed different narrative techniques in his fiction. Narayan writes about social issues and problems of south Indian especially common people in his novels and stories. Narayan has taken up social problems of day to day life; and he has attempted to solve the issues through the intellect of characters. He presents the traditional narrative technique of the storyteller effectively. Narayan is considered as a ‘born story- teller’ or ‘a first- rate story- teller’. The wide variety of themes in Narayan’s stories is paralleled by an equally satisfying variety of techniques.
