Conversations With V S Naipaul

Download or read book Conversations with V. S. Naipaul written by Feroza F. Jussawalla and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 1997 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together interviews from a thirty-six-year span and reveals a witty, sometimes scathing talker with a free-ranging curiosity. In early interviews, mostly given to such fellow writers and colleagues as Derek Walcott and Eric Roach, Naipul is clipped, brusque, and clearly impatient with interviewers. More recent interviews, given primarily to journalists rather than literary figures, reveal a more mellow Naipaul, often warm, passionate, and forthcoming about his private life.
