Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The first book in V. S. Naipauls acclaimed Indian trilogy with a preface by the author. An Area of Darkness is V. S. Naipauls semi-autobiographical account at once painful and hilarious, but always thoughtful and considered of his first visit to India, the land of his forebears. He was twenty-nine years old; he stayed for a year. From the moment of his inauspicious arrival in Prohibition-dry Bombay, bearing whisky and cheap brandy, he experienced a cultural estrangement from the subcontinent. It became for him a land of myths, an area of darkness closing up behind him as he travelled . . . The experience was not a pleasant one, but the pain the author suffered was creative rather than numbing, and engendered a masterful work of literature that provides a revelation both of India and of himself: a displaced person who paradoxically possesses a stronger sense of place than almost anyone. His narrative skill is spectacular. One returns with pleasure to the slow hand-in-hand revelations of both India and himself The Times A luminous and challenging work of autobiographical travel writing.
