Description

An astonishing novel about hope, despair, poverty and laughter. V.S. Naipaul's first written novel, already displaying his humour, endless inventiveness and imaginative brilliance, won the Somerset Maugham Award on its appearance in 1959. Set in WWII, this is a depiction of a little corner of Port of Spain in Trinidad, seen through the eyes of a fatherless young boy. Teeming with idiosyncratic characters who live in and around Miguel Street, it evokes living theatre through its detailed observations of these inhabitants, their exploits and their fruitless ambitions.

Author Biography:

V. S. Naipaul was born in Trinidad in 1932. He went to England on a scholarship in 1950. After four years at University College, Oxford, he began to write, and since then has followed no other profession. He has published more than twenty books of fiction and non-fiction, including Half a Life, A House for Mr Biswas, A Bend in the River and most recently The Masque of Africa, and a collection of letters, Between a Father and Son. In 2001 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
