From the Nobel Prizewinning author comes a riveting tour de force that examines emigration, dislocation, and dread.The coolest literary eye and the most lucid prose we have. The New York Times Book ReviewNo writer has rendered our boundariless, postcolonial world more acutely or prophetically than V. S. Naipaul, or given its upheavals such a hauntingly human face.In the beginning it is just a car trip through Africa. Two English peopleBobby, a civil servant with a guilty appetite for African boys, and Linda, a supercilious compound wifeare driving back to their enclave after a stay in the capital. But in between lies the landscape of an unnamed country whose squalor and ethnic bloodletting suggest Idi Amins Uganda. And the farther Naipauls protagonists travel into it, the more they find themselves crossing the line that separates privileged outsiders from horrified victims. Alongside this Conradian tour de force are four incisive portraits of men seeking liberation far from home. By turns funny and terrifying, sorrowful and unsparing, In A Free State is Naipaul at his best.
