No writer has rendered our boundariless, post-colonial world more acutely or prophetically than V. S. Naipaul, or given its upheavals such a hauntingly human face. A perfect case in point is this riveting novel, a masterful and stylishly rendered narrative of emigration, dislocation, and dread, accompanied by four supporting narratives.
In the beginning it is just a car trip through Africa. Two English people--Bobby, a civil servant with a guilty appetite for African boys, and Linda, a supercilious “compound wife” [117]-- are driving back to their enclave after a stay in the capital [111]. But in between lies the landscape of an unnamed country whose squalor and ethnic bloodletting suggest Idi Amin’s Uganda. [111-12, 120, 130-1, 150, 178, 220-40] And the farther Naipaul’s protagonists travel into it, the more they find themselves crossing the line that separates privileged outsiders from horrified victims. Alongside this Conradian tour de force are four incisive portraits of men seeking liberation far from home. By turns funny and terrifying, sorrowful and unsparing, In A Free State is Naipaul at his best.

评分We all come out of the same pot, but some people move ahead and some people get left behind. Some people get left behind so far they don't know and they stop caring.
评分更喜欢前面的几个短篇,同名的短篇还没有读完

【读品】罗豫/文 为检验文学出版业编辑的水平,英国《星期日泰晤士报》曾做过一个实验:他们把某位诺贝尔文学奖得主的一部重要作品(曾获布克奖)第一章换用假名,寄给了20家英国出版社,结果所有出版社审稿编辑都发出了退稿信。这一实验,简直成为文学领域一个小小的“索卡尔...
评分我读完整本集子后还是喜欢《孤独的人》,看完的时候给朋友推荐过。 那种体验是很难用一句话描述的 我只能片面的说写得流畅,柔和。视觉犀利 至于第二个小说《告诉我,杀了谁?》味道有点类似余华。只是类似,却各有千秋。 真正到了《自由国度》的时候,我读不进去了,还要仰就...
评分先看的《大河湾》,这是我读的奈保尔的第二本书,并不是很理想。 因为《自由国度》是获奖作品,所以理所当然有期待,所以希望落空时很失落就是了。 我比较喜欢第一个篇《合众为一》,将一个印度仆人死缠烂打主人之后跟着去了美国,在哪里开始觉醒,逃离主人开始人生,最后妥协...
