Softcover. Condition: Fine. First American Edition. SIGNED Limited Advance Reading Copy. (Limitation not specified) Fine in white printed wrappers laid-into a matching card slipcase. ; Signed by Author
This work of "fiction" from Naipaul is really a label-defying tapestry of elements, a fascinating, closely woven blend of history, character study, and autobiography. Naipaul's wonderfully vivid, lyrical descriptions of Trinidad, his homeland, reflect a mind whose every experience seems to have been carefully captured in amber. The theme that repeats throughout is the shifting nature of reality as it is refracted through the eyes and thoughts of those who shaped Trinidadian and South American colonial history -- and those who fumble for identity in its aftermath. By individualizing the colonial and post colonial experience, Naipaul reveals its human roots: the restless search for identity, for a sense of completion, that drove conquerors and conquered alike -- that, as Naipaul tells us, drove him to become a writer.
