Reading The Man-Eater of Malgudi | Alexandria
Read The Man-Eater of Malgudi by R. K. Narayan. Transforming a taxidermist's obsession into a meditation on ego and destruction, The Man-Eater's darkly comic tale exposes how blind pursuit of control leads to self-annihilation. Through Nataraj's passive resistance, Narayan reveals an overlooked truth: real power lies not in domination, but in the quiet dignity of letting go.
