The first major biography of V.S. Naipaul, the controversial and enigmatic Nobel laureate: a stunning writer whose only stated ambition was greatness, in pursuit of which goal nothing else was sacred.

Beginning in rich detail in Trinidad, where Naipaul was born into an Indian family, Patrick French skillfully examines Naipaul’s life within a displaced community and his fierce ambition at school. He describes how, on scholarship at Oxford, homesickness and depression struck with great force; the ways in which Naipaul’s first wife helped him to cope and their otherwise fraught marriage; and Naipaul’s struggles throughout subsequent uncertainties in England, including his twenty-five-year-long affair.

Naipaul’s extraordinary gift—producing, uniquely, masterpieces of both fiction and nonfiction—is most of all born of a forceful, visionary impulse, whose roots French traces with a sympathetic brilliance and devastating insight.

第一次接触有关奈保尔的记述,是那本少受关注的《维迪亚爵士的影子》,里面模模糊糊的构筑一个对世界不满的作家——众所周知,越是持这种世界观,越受西方主流文化的赞赏。不过,奈保尔似乎有点意外,他的出身与成长都是一个错误的巧合,造就他双重否定人格的同时,也让他缺乏...
