Summary: Thematically Brilliant..if not slightly overwritten at times
Comment: This is my first introduction to VS Naipaul's work. This collection contains some segments from his novels as well as essays he's collected in various volumes. Regarding his fiction, I think it's very good--especially if you like Indian writing (which I love). Of his essays in his edition, I think Jasmine is my favorite--all because of the last few paragraphs.

Naipaul's set-up always leads to perfect execution, though, at times, elements of his writing seemed overblown, overembellished. His essay on Mobutu and the first half of Jack's Garden struggled in keeping my attention, though, both had wonderful themes once finished.

This seems to be a nice study of his work. The balance between fiction and non-fiction was consistent and welcome.
