This book focuses on the fiction and non-fiction in which Trinidadian-born V.S. Naipaul has treated West Indian subject matter. Providing an insight into his troubled East Indian oblique/West Indian background and self-imposed exile in London, this study examines each of Naipaul's Caribbean works and presents massive coverage - from scholarly articles to informal interviews - of his generally hostile reception in the region. The appendix, which treats Naipaul's books on his ancestral land, India, further illuminates the controversy associated with this writer and his roots.
