From: book reviews Category: Art Date: 19 August 2008 Time: 06:56 PM Review: Good biography of brilliant one of a kind writer. He may be someone you'd feel uncomfortable with at a dinner party, but the vision (filling out Theroux's oddity about their one sided friendshiip is Sir vidia's shadow) into what makes Naipal tick are thrilling. You can look inside the workings of genius, but they are still mysterious.
