Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
These 11 pieces charts more than half-a-century of personal inquiry into the mysteries of written expression and of fiction in particular. Here are the author's boyhood experiences of reading books and his first, youthful efforts at writing them. This collection also shows the early glimmers and evolution of ideas about the proper relation of particular literary forms to particular cultures and identities. Here, too, is Naipaul's famous comment on his putative literary forebear Conrad and, a less familiar but no less intriguing, preface to the only book Naipaul's father ever published. Finally, in his celebrated Nobel Address, "Two Worlds", Naipaul reflects on the full scope of his career, rounding off the volume as an intellectual autobiography.
