In his long-awaited, vastly innovative new novel, Naipaul, “one of literature’s great travelers” (Los Angles Times), spans continents and centuries to create what is at once an autobiography and a fictional archaeology of colonialism. “Dickensian . . . a brilliant new prism through which to view (Naipaul’s) life and work.”–New York Times.
