V. S. Naipaul’s legendary command of broad comedy and acute social observation is on abundant display in these classic works of fiction - two novels and a collection of stories - that capture the rhythms of life in the Caribbean and England with impressive subtlety and humor.
The Suffrage of Elvira is Naipaul’s hilarious take on an electoral campaign in the backcountry of Trinidad, where the candidates’ tactics include blatant vote-buying and supernatural sabotage. The eponymous protagonist of Mr. Stone and the Knights Companion is an aging Englishman of ponderously regular habits whose life is thrown into upheaval by a sudden marriage and unanticipated professional advancement. And the stories in A Flag on the Island take us from a Chinese bakery in Trinidad - whose black proprietor faces bankruptcy until he takes a Chinese name - to a rooming house in London - where the genteel landlady plays a nasty Darwinian game with her budgerigars.
Unfailingly stylish, filled with intelligence and feeling, here is the work of a writer who can do just about anything that can be done with language.

He may not love his country and compatriots a whole lot but we’re still very proud of him and his racist ass

@architectonic
Just curious, which country are you referring to? Trinidad and Tobago, India, or the UK? And who was he racist against?
November 5th, 2020
Nevermind about that question about his racism, found out for myself.

@wuuk lololol @ your realisation. I’m from Trinidad, currently residing in the same neighbourhood that he grew up in

Could you please upload Miguel Street? I was in the middle of it when I lost my Audible membership due to a debit card issue.

Thank you very much. Naipaul is a genius. Look: for some reason I cannot log in to the ‘Request’ forum. Could someone please add to the Requests Naipaul’s brilliant book Half A Life? For literally days on end I’ve searched it on internet! Sadly I don’t have a debit card to buy it. Additionally, do add a request for Norman Mailer’s Harlot’s Ghost (one of the best espionage novels ever written). Take care.
