The Nobel Prizewinning author delivers an eloquent, candid, wideranging narrative that delves into the sometimes inadvertent process of creative and intellectual assimilation.Bracing, surprising.... A meditation on art and life. The New York Review of BooksV. S. Naipaul has always faced the challenges of "fitting one civilization to another." In A Writer's People, he takes us into this process that has shaped both his writing and his life.Naipaul discusses the writers to whom he was exposed early onDerek Walcott, Gustave Flaubert, and his father, among themand his first encounters with literary culture. He illuminates the ways in which the writings of Gandhi, Nehru, and other Indian writers both reveal and conceal the authors themselves and their nation. And he brings the same scrutiny to bear on his own life: his early years in Trinidad; the empty spaces in his family history; his everevolving reactions to the more complicated India he would encounter for the first time at age thirty.
