Afternoon Play: A Tiger for Malgudi

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

RK Narayan 's comic narrative is a rich evocation of Indian life in the 1970s that looks at human absurdities through the eyes of a wild animal. An ageing tiger, now the companion of a monk, looks back on his life. Dramatised by Ronald Frame for the 100th anniversary of Narayan's birth.
