<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Offers insight into the author's range and creative process, in a treasury that includes pieces from such classics as "Miguel Street" and "In a Free State."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>For the first time: the Nobel Prize winner's stunning short fiction collected in one volume, with an introduction by the author. <p/>Over the course of his distinguished career, V. S. Naipaul has written a remarkable array of short fiction that moves from Trinidad to London to Africa. Here are the stories from his Somerset Maugham Award-winning <i>Miguel Street, </i> in which he takes us into a derelict corner of Trinidad's capital to meet, among others, Man-Man, who goes from running for public office to staging his own crucifixion. The tales <i>in A Flag on the Island, </i>meanwhile, roam from a Chinese bakery in Trinidad to a rooming house in London. And in the celebrated title story from the Booker Prize- winning <i>In a Free State, </i> an English couple traveling in an unnamed African country discover, under a veneer of civilization, a landscape of squalor and ethnic bloodletting. <p/>No writer has rendered our postcolonial world more acutely or prophetically than V. S. Naipaul, or given its upheavals such a hauntingly human face.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"V. S.
