I always find the writing of R.K.Narayan to be a little slow, bordering on the dull, and the narrative to be very mundane, like going through one's daily life. But there is still a definite charm about his works and especially, the character formation. Each and every character turns out to be something you can relate with.
They may not be special or unique, but you find a piece of yourself in those characters, some similarity - like seeing a stranger who is wearing the same shirt as yours or the same watch as yours, or riding the same vehicle as yours and thinking, 'Hey, that is so like mine' . His book 'The English Teacher' is no exception. :-)
