Review
"There is not a page that is not stamped with Naipaul's compelling charm and peculiar authority...he retains, somehow or other, a sense of wonder at the varieties of human experience and the infinite vagaries of human behaviour" (Scotsman)
"One of literature's senior players, a writer whose work - nimble in defence, formidable in attack - is impossible to dismiss... it is the seriousness and delicacy of his concerns that capture and keep our attention. Wherever he has been - which is almost everywhere - he has stalked the anxieties and vanities of post-colonial life with fantastic zeal and subtlety." (Independent)
"The language is marvellously sculpted" (Economist)
Book Description
Dazzling mixture of autobiography and a fictional history of colonialism
