Review:
"An elegant memoir, a subtly incisive self-reckoning." --"Washington Post Book World"
"Far and away the most curious novel I've read in a long time, and maybe the most hypnotic book I've ever read." --"St. Petersburg Times"
"The conclusion is both heart-breaking and bracing: the only antidote to destruction -- of dreams, of reality -- is remembering. As eloquently as anyone now writing, Naipaul remembers." --"Time"
"V.S. Naipaul is a man who can inspire readers to follow him through the Slough of Despond and beyond... Like a computer game [this book] leads the reader on by a series of clues, nearer and nearer to an understanding of the man and the writer. Few memoirs can claim as much." --"Newsday"
"Naipaul's finest work so far." —"Chicago Tribune"
