Naipaul once described his purpose as an author as nothing less than a 'commitment to deliver the truth'. One of the world's greatest, and most controverersial, living writers, he has written extensively about the enduring economic, cultural, and psychological effects of colonialism, particularly its assaults on individual identity. In this book, Feder explores Naupaul's writings to deliver an original and beautifully written analysis of her subject. She describes Naipaul's methods for discovering the truth about himself and the world he explores, and she concludes that Naipaul's literature has rightfully earned a place in the upper echelons of the modern canon. Simultaneously an intellectual biography and a revealing psychological portrait of the artist, NAIPAUL'S TRUTH is a masterpiece of literary biography. " ... Chronology of works by V. S. Naipaul.
