Description: V. S. Naipaul of Trinidad by Nivedita Misra Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The book collects material from local critics, newspapers and interviews to present V. S. Naipaul in new light as a "true blue" Trinidadian writer. The book foregrounds Naipauls deep connections not only with the land of his birth but with its literary and historical heritage and its peoples. Publisher Description Projects the writings of V. S. Naipaul in a dynamic dialogue with the events taking place in Trinidad, organising his works and events taking place decade by decade.The book is about V. S. Naipaul who was born in Trinidad in 1932. At the age of 18, Naipaul left Trinidad on a scholarship to study literature at Oxford. He never returned to live in Trinidad. His first book was published in 1956, and by the time Trinidad achieved political independence in 1962, he had published four books and was firmly established as a writer in England. By the time Trinidad became a republic in 1976, Naipaul had written 13 books and had travelled through much of the postcolonial world. This book highlights how Trinidad and Naipaul were bound in a love-hate relationship where Naipaul continued to pass Trinidad off as a cynical island where "nothing was created" while Trinidad had its share by laying back a claim on him and his writing. It is generally perceived that Naipaul shunned his place of birth as he called his birth in Trinidad a mistake, Trinidad an unimportant, uncreative, cynical place and the Caribbean as the Third Worlds Third World. His refusal to acknowledge Trinidad in his initial response to receiving the Nobel Prize added insult to injury. Yet, he was deeply bound to the island of Trinidad and his roots in the Indo-Trinidadian community. This book makes Naipauls connection to Trinidad more than evident and as such adds to the present body of knowledge.
