[edit] Swamy or Swami?

The entry previously gave Narayan's second name as Krishnaswamy. According to the Ram & Ram biography and the standard library record, the spelling is with a final i, so I changed it. rdh

We should also include the rest of the brothers and sisters. They were all very talented in their own way.... sb WAZ A FAJJIT ..................ISNT THAT NARLY DUDES —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.100.27 (talk) 22:54, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birth

I remeber reading that RKN was born in Mysore and not Madras, not sure can anyone help, any idea??? --Sartaj beary 19:16, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

  • No he was definitely born in Madras. [See here] I remember something about his mother visiting his grandparents for his birth, in My Days probably..--Longhairandabeard 17:38, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] the Magnum Opus in the Infobox is ludicrous

I dont know which genius came up with the idea of including a Magnum Opus in an infobox but for a lot of writers, there is no one single, defining work or most famous work. Take Orwell -- both Animal Farm AND 1984. The same is true for Narayan.. Malgudi is famous for the entire range of books. --Peripatetic 00:14, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
