<p><b>‘His narrative skill is spectacular. One returns with pleasure to the slow hand-in-hand revelations of both India and himself’ – <i>The Times</i></b><br><br><i>An Area of Darkness</i> is V.
S. Naipaul’s semi-autobiographical account of his first visit to India, the land of his forebears. At once painful and hilarious, but always thoughtful and considered.<br><br>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 . . .<br><br>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 is revelatory both of India and of himself: a displaced person who paradoxically possesses a stronger sense of place than almost anyone.<br><br><b>Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.</b></p>
