The latest novel by this year’s Nobel Prize winner examines dislocation, tragic relationships, and the ultimately redemptive powers of love. Willie Chandran, born in India to a Brahmin who married down, immigrates to 1950s London in search of a literary life, but moves again to East Africa where he finally finds a sense of home – and self. Chandran’s story continues in Naipaul’s 2004 follow-up, Magic Seeds.
