My Dateless Diary is a collection of autobiographical essays by R. K. Narayan published in 1960.[1] The book was the output of a daily journal that he maintained during his visit to the United States on a Rockefeller Fellowship in 1956.[2] While on this visit, Narayan also completed The Guide, the writing of which is covered in this book.[3] The book is focused on Narayan's interactions with the American people and the people themselves.[4] The book also highlights Narayan's view of the west, his appreciation and admiration in general, but subtle disapproval of specific aspects while making it known that there isn't much of a gap between his values and those he has come across.[5] The book offers insights into both, the author and his subjects.[6]
