The author’s fourteenth novel, ostensibly the sequel to “Half A Life”. Naipaul’s final novel, he says. This is the true First Printing of the First Hardback Edition. Sections from this novel appeared in The New Yorker, this wonderful and wise novel takes us into the hearts and minds of those who use terrorism to further their warped view of the world. In spare, elegant prose Naipaul provides insights into some astonishing characters, and in doing so provides a novel attuned to the world. Winner of the Booker Prize in 1971 and of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2001.
