A
Way in the World is a vastly innovative novel exploring vastly innovative
novel explores colonial inheritance through a series of narratives that span
continents, swing back and forth between past and present and delve into both
autobiography and fiction. V. S. Naipaul offers a personal choice of examples
of Spanish and British imperial history in the Caribbean, including an
imagined vision of Raleigh’s last expedition and an introduction to Francisco
de Miranda, a would-be liberator and precursor to BolÃvar, which are placed
within a context of echoing modernity and framed by two more personal,
heavily autobiographical sections sketching the narrator – an eloquent yet
humble man of Indian descent who grew up in Trinidad but spent much of his
adult life in England and Africa. Meditative and dramatic, these historical
reconstructions, imbued with Naipaul’s acute perception, drawn with his deft
and sensitive touch, and told in his beautifully wrought prose, are
transmuted into an astonishing novel exploring the profound and mysterious
effect of history on the individual.
