Intense, controversial, unfailingly clever, V. S. Naipaul has won nearly every major British writing award, including the prestigious Booker Award (in 1971 for In a Free State) and in 1990 was knighted for his literary accomplishments. Born of Indian parents in Trinidad in 1932, he has little sympathy for the land of his birth or forefathers. All that he puts under his microscope--nations, peoples, religions, or ethnic groups--are targets of his clear-sightedness, and he shows no patience with pretense or delusions. This collection brings together interviews from a thirty-six-year span and reveals a witty, sometimes scathing talker with a free-ranging curiosity, but one who dreads intimacy and cherishes a solitary detachment. This collection shows the changing faces of this world-class author. In early interviews, mostly given to such fellow writers and colleagues as Derek Walcott and the poet Eric Roach, Naipaul is clipped, brusque, and clearly impatient with interviewers. More recent interviews, given primarily to journalists rather than literary figures, reveal a maturing Naipaul, often warm, passionate, and forthcoming about his private life.… (altro)

Have to say one of the brilliant books I've read this year; yes I even liked it more than the celebrated Patrick French Biography. This is a compilation of all the interviews of Naipaul from sixties to nineties. Bought it for £16 and thought it was worth every single shekel. Reading these interviews and the insights made me want to run and grab the next available person while screaming 'This is it'. This is one-man-clinical-precision-scrutinizing-machine having all the cultures and countries of the postwar world for breakfast, one at a time. Absolutely brilliant, loved the James Atlas interview for Vanity Fair in 1987, and many more wonderful ones. There was also an average one from 1965 by Derek Walcott, who pretends to catch the thoughts of Vidia while they are clearly sailing way past his head. In one question he even tries to put his own words, his own second rate understanding of the world unto Vidia and deserves what he gets.Here's the question:Walcott: Do you think that having lived in Trinidad, in a multi-racial society, has helped you to achieve a more balanced perception? For example, a writer brought up in Trinidad does not have the same racial belligerence as a Jamaican writer.the societies are different. In your work there a very delicate sense of humour. One finds this in Selvon also. Do you see your ability to laugh at certain situations, not with mockery necessarily, as part of having been brought up in Trinidad?Vidia: I really don't know . . . ( )
