Review:

Miguel Street. Early Naipaul, his first book though not published first. His prose always like a cool 
breeze on a summer day. These stories show his humour in a more obvious way than his later, more 
dyspeptic, books. I thought the main characters are meant to be black west indians not indian west 
indians, but wasn't sure, and was worried he portrayed them as child-like. Always the doubts with 
Naipaul. No doubt he is a great writer.
