Set on a troubled Caribbean island - where Asians, Africans,
Americans and former British colonials co-exist in a state of
suppressed hysteria - V. S. Naipaul's Guerrillas is a novel of
colonialism and revolution. A white man arrives with his mistress,
an Englishwoman influenced by fantasies of native power and
sexuality, unaware of the consequences of her actions. Together
with a leader of the 'revolution', they act out a gripping drama of
death, sexual violence and spiritual impotence. Guerrillas depicts
a convulsion in public life, and ends in private violence. The
novel comes with extraordinary force from the centre of a profound
moral awareness of the world's plight. 'Impeccable . . . Guerrillas
seems to me Naipaul's Heart of Darkness: a brilliant artist's
anatomy of emptiness, and of despair' - Observer
