In Half a Life we are introduced to the compelling figure of Willie
Chandran. Springing from the unhappy union of a low-caste mother and a
father constantly at odds with life, Willie is naively eager to find
something that will place him both in and apart from the world. Drawn
to England, and to the immigrant and bohemian communities of post-war
London, it is only in his first experience of love that he finally
senses the possibility of fulfilment.
In its humorous and sensitive vision of the half-lives quietly lived
out at the centre of our world, V. S. Naipaul’s graceful novel brings
its own unique illumination to essential aspects of our shared history.
Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best
of modern literature.
