An extraordinary rich correspondence (The New York Times Book Review) between a seventeenyearold aspiring writer at Oxford who would go on to become a Nobel Prize winning author and his sacrificing, beloved father.At seventeen, V.S. Naipaul wanted to 'follow no other profession' but writing. Awarded a scholarship by the Trinidadian government, he set out to attend Oxford, where he encountered a vastly different world from the one he yearned to leave behind. Separated from his family by continents, and grappling with depression, financial strain, loneliness, and dislocation, 'Vido' bridged the distance with a faithful correspondence that began shortly before the young man's twoweek journey to England and ended soon after his father's death four years later.Here, for the first time, we have the opportunity to read this profoundly moving correspondence, which illuminates with unalloyed candor the relationship between a sacrificing father and his determined son as they encourage each other to persevere with their writing. For though his father's literary aspirations would go unrealized, Naipaul's triumphant career would ultimately vindicate his beloved mentor's legacy.
