Beginning with a richly detailed portrait of Naipaul?s childhood in colonial Trinidad, French gives us the boy born to an Indian family, the displaced soul in a displaced community, who by dint of talent and ambition finds the only imaginable way out: a scholarship to Oxford. Amid this harrowing emotional life, French traces the course of the fierce visionary impulse underlying Naipaul?s singular power, a gift to produce masterpieces of fiction and nonfiction.
