First published in 1988, Peter Hughes explores the work of V. S.
Naipaul, and the interplay of fictional and non-fictional patters
in what is his obsessive vision of human life. Hughes shows how
Naipaul's narratives pair off histories and novels, travel-writing
and psycho-biography, reinforcing one another and Naipaul's vision
of 'a world undoing itself'; a world of disorder and fantasy. He
includes a reading of Naipaul's texts, usually considered highly
traditional, that shows their innovative side, and points out ways
that they can be illuminated through modern literary theory. A
detailed analysis, this companion to V. S. Naipaul's writing will
interest students of modern literature and those with an interest
in Naipaul's writing more generally.
