The master of English prose, Sir VS Naipaul, who is often hailed as the greatest living English writer tells about how he first had the inspiration he would become a writer, how he first started to substantiate his dream of becoming 'famous' through writing, and how he gathered his materials. The writer provides a rare vista through which any Naipaul-fan, or for that matter literature lover, can get to understand how this language magician emerged as a steadfast star in the literary universe.
The flow of the prose is what makes Naipaul irresistible as a writer, but his wit and intellect are all the more irresistible. The preface he wrote for his father's collection of his stories is intensely moving and nostalgic.
Reading this book of his, I understood how this literary giant made to the acme without being perturbed.
