简介
In a narrative that moves with dreamlike swiftness from India toEngland to Africa, Nobel Laureate V. S. Naipaul has produced hisfinest novel to date, a bleakly resonant study of the fraudulentbargains that make up an identity.
The son of a Brahmin ascetic and his lower-caste wife, WillieChandran grows up sensing the hollowness at the core of hisfather's self-denial and vowing to live more authentically. Thatsearch takes him to the immigrant and literary bohemias of 1950sLondon, to a facile and unsatisfying career as a writer, and atlast to a decaying Portugese colony in East Africa, where he findsa happiness he will then be compelled to betray. Brilliantlyorchestrated, at once elegiac and devastating in its portraits ofcolonial grandeur and pretension, Half a Life represents thepinnacle of Naipaul's career.
