I began by suggesting that it would be difficult to find anything new to say about Naipaul, yet I find that Ghosh has managed to tease out a number of ways in which to do just that. * Lynne Macedo, University of Warwick , Modern Language Review * Although Naipaul's resistance to and even rejection of his Caribbean roots is well known, William Ghosh persuasively argues for the literary-historical value of reading him in a Caribbean context. [...] One of the book's strengths is its presentation of a network of Caribbean writers and thinkers grappling not only with the same historical concerns, but also with the impact of their work on one another. * Alex Fabrizio, New West Indian Guide * It is not an easy task to write anything new about an author as well known as V. S. Naipaul, [...] yet I find that Ghosh has managed to tease out a number of ways in which to do just that. Not only does Ghosh resituate Naipaul's writing as a major contributory factor to many of the views on colonization held by Caribbean intellectuals, he also shows that Naipaul's whole body of work can be read as a genuine attempt to 'redefine these communities, and their postcolonial experiences'. * Lynne Macedo, Modern Language Review *
