I agree with a lot naipuaul has to say and disagree with it a lot So my nuance is different thatn Nightfall. The man is good and up there. His writing towards "colored" is not colored with banal colonialism assertion either.
To V.S. Nightfall, As a colored person I strongly disagree with your assessment. Please read him with care, you will be surprised. The man is a genius.
"When a self-styled sycophant of the successful western world publishes his prejudices it is bound to win acclamations. Even the prestigious Nobel." The colored writer who loathes the colored race, for fear that the white man will notice that he too is colored!
