Résumé

"V. S. Naipaul is the most compelling literary figure of the last fifty years. Producing, uniquely, masterpieces of both fiction and non-fiction, his is a gift born of a forceful, visionary impulse. With great feeling for his formidable body of work, and exclusive access to his private papers and personal recollections, Patrick French has produced a luminous and astonishing account of this enigmatic genius." "Researched with the full cooperation of its Nobel prize-winning subject, Patrick French traces with a sympathetic brilliance and devastating insight the roots of V. S. Naipaul's unparalleled gift, in what will become a landmark in biography."
