«The Vendor of Sweets» is the novel by R. K. Narayan, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (144 pages, in English).
Jagan, a widower faithful to Gandhi's teachings, reads the Bhagavad Gita assiduously while running a sweets shop in Malgudi. Jagan's peaceful routine is broken when Mali, his son, returns with a half-American wife and a plan to sell novel-writing machines. The clash between tradition and modernity pits father against son.
The novel was originally published in 1967; this edition is part of the Penguin Modern Classics collection.
For readers interested in Indian literature, modern classics, and stories of generational conflict.
