In his early forties, Willie Chandran abandons his peripatetic lifestyle with the encouragement of his sister to join an underground movement in India, but seven years of revolutionary campaigns--and several years in jail--convince him to return to England, where he once again uncovers the fruit of another unexpected social revolution, in a new novel by the Nobel laureate author of Half a Life. 40,000 first printing.

"Contains the heft and accumulated experience that have made Naipaul probably the most essential English-language novelist of our time."--"New York magazine" "A novel of careful craft ... fresh ideas, unexpected turns."--"The Globe and Mail" "[Naipaul] is a modern master of the multiple ironies of resentment, the claustrophobia of the margins. In a world in which terrorism continually haunts the headlines, Naipaul's work is indispensable."--"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) "When Naipaul talks, we listen."--"The Atlantic Monthly" Praise for "Half a Life": "Naipaul is a master of English prose and the prose of Half a Life is as clean and cold as a knife."--J. M. Coetzee, winner of the Nobel Prize "Here, sentence by sentence, is the consummate craftsmanship, the perception, the precision, the style."--"The Globe and Mail"
‘Original, ruthlessly honest, intellectually stimulating and masterfully written’ The Times
