Reviews

The conclusion is both heart-breaking and bracing: the only antidote to destruction – of dreams, of reality – is remembering. As eloquently as anyone now writing, Naipaul remembers.
A wonderful book . . . a magical book.
Written with the expected beauty of style . . . Instead of diminishing life, Naipaul ennobles it.
