Author(s):

Abstract:

A work of art or literature that portrays people, objects, and events as they truly are is called realism. "Realism in the works of painters, writers, etc. means depicting things as they are found in nature. The art of emulating the natural world is known as realism. (Horn by 848) In literature, realism refers to a style or method of handling subject matter that portrays a deterministic vision of man's life and conduct through a great deal of detail. In literature and the visual arts, realism is the portrayal of subjects as they would be in daily life, without adornment or interpretation. Whether or not his readers agree, Khushwant Singh is a great man and writer of fiction and prose because he has always written what he feels is right. One of the characteristics that sets him apart as a fiction writer is his unique narrative art. Although he is not a prolific writer of novels or short stories, he has produced work that is consistently readable despite its limited output. Readers of Khushwant Singh's books discovered that, although he was a latecomer to the world of novel writing, he was a born storyteller. As demonstrated by his three books, Train to Pakistan, I Shall Not Hear the Nightingale, and Delhi, Khushwant Singh's storytelling art will be examined and evaluated in this essay.
