| | 2. |  | India: A Wounded Civilization

Price: $6.94
Customer Review:

Customer Review:
WAY IN THE WORLD, by V. S. Naipaul.
My three stars reflect my own diminished enjoyment rather than the intrinsic quality of this well-written book by the Nobel-prizewinning author. It may even be an important work but, despite the description on the cover, it is not a novel in any normal sense.... more info

from Vintage
Price: $5.39
Customer Review:
Naipaul reminds us of the creepy, unlikely, weird but true links among the southern cities, Africa, Caribbean slave trade, that there was a triangle of economic dependency and competitiveness. He also gives a readable account of the intrigue and competition among the colonial powers.

A semi autobiographical work of the authors time in Salisbury;his walks in the valley to view Stonehenge;the slowly evolving change in the region and the people he encounters there.

| | 10. |  | The Mimic Men: A Novel
from Vintage
Price: $7.59
Customer Review:
I am a confirmed Naipaul fan, but I was not overly impressed with the "Mimic Men". There seems to be 3 separate themes here that are better expressed in other novels by Naipaul. All three themes are lightly treated, disjointed, and lack cohesion. The first topic is his uncanny ability to dissect an... more info
