His narrative skill is spectacular. One returns with pleasure to the slow hand-in-hand revelation of both India and himself. . . . There is a kind of displaced person who has a better sense of place than anybody: Mr. Naipaul is an outstanding example. The Times (London)
[Naipaul s] penetrating, opinionated travel writing . . . makes up a remarkable running commentary on the clash of civilizations. The New York Times"
