Very, very clearly an outstanding biography. Superb detail blended with the author’s informed opinions turn this into a pure gold mine for anyone interested in the man, the times, the Great Game, India, or free-thinking. Written with a passion rarely seen in an author today and twas his first book! I’m reading more Patrick French! I have been carrying this book with me now for about 8 years, finally read it in Malta, and glad I did. Finished 19.03.20.

What a shitbag! Naipaul thrives on being a controversialist. This is sage. The author finds the soft areas in our hypocrisies about race and nation states. Naipaul exploits such. Quoting Mr. French, Naipaul's prose remains pellucid. His incorporation of these anxieties is an achievement. The Nobel Laureate's manipulation of such is well past the suspect.

I have yet to broach the personal life of Vidia. Not to wax sensationalist, I couldn’t make up this shit.
