Media Reviews
The coolest literary eye and the most lucid prose we have. The New York Times Book Review
Belongs in the same category of travel writing as Lawrence s books on Italy, Greene s on West Africa and Pritchett s on Spain. New Statesman
Naipaul travels with the artist s eye and ear and his observations are sharply discerning. Evelyn Waugh
Where earlier travelers enthused or recoiled, Mr. Naipaul explains. His tone is critical but humane, and he tempers his inevitable indignation with an admirable sense of comedy. The Observer
Dazzling reportorial skills and a sharp historical mind. The New York Times
