V. S. Naipaul (Writers and Their Work) by Suman Gupta

Amazon.com: Books: V. S. Naipaul (Writers and Their Work): "This was a hard-nosed analysis of Naipaul's work as a whole. Without being overly jargonistic or heavily literary it managed to show the links between different phases of Naipaul's development, and give a sense of the overall development of Naipaul's thinking. It is not a pretty picture, and one that many of Naipaul's admirers will find objectionable. But the argument is persuasive and cannot be dismissed lightly. It is also valuable in providing the context for Naipaul's many books, which are often set in vastly different countries and cultures. "
