Naipaul is the worlds writer, a master of language and perception. -The New York Times Book ReviewOver the course of his distinguished career, V. S. Naipaul has written a remarkable array of short fiction that moves from Trinidad to London to Africa. Here are the stories from his Somerset Maugham Award-winning Miguel Street, in which he takes us into a derelict corner of Trinidads capital to meet, among others, Man-Man, who goes from running for public office to staging his own crucifixion. The tales in A Flag on the Island, meanwhile, roam from a Chinese bakery in Trinidad to a rooming house in London. And in the celebrated title story from the Booker Prize- winning In a Free State, an English couple traveling in an unnamed African country discover, under a veneer of civilization, a landscape of squalor and ethnic bloodletting.No writer has rendered our postcolonial world more acutely or prophetically than V. S. Naipaul, or given its upheavals such a hauntingly human face.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736049877280,"sku":"NEW0307594025","price":28.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71wm87ZL8dL.jpg?v=1779504012","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/collected-short-fiction-of-v-s-naipaul-everymans-library-contemporary-classics-series-0307594025","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
