`A Tolstoyan spirit...The so-called third World has produced no more brilliant literary artist` - John Updike, "New Yorker". Born of Indian heritage, raised in the British-dependent Caribbean island of Isabella, and educated in England, forty-year-old Ralph Singh has spent a lifetime struggling against the torment of cultural displacement. Now in exile from his native country, he has taken up residence at a quaint hotel in a London suburb, where he is writing his memoirs in an attempt to impose order on a chaotic existence. His memories lead him to recognize the cultural paradoxes and tainted fantasies of his colonial childhood and later life: his attempts to fit in at school, his short-lived marriage to an ostenatious white woman. But it is the return of Isabella and his subsequent immersion in the roiling political atmosphere of a newly self-governing nation - every kind of racial fantasy taking wing - that ultimately provide Singh with the necessary insight to discover the crux of his disillusionment. `Ambitious and successful...Extremely perceptive` - "The Times". `The sweep of Naipaul`s imagination, the brilliant fictional frame that expresses it, are in my view eithout equal today` - "New York Times Book Review". ISBN - 9780330487108
