Area of Darkness
«Brilliant . . . true autobiography arises when a man encounters something in his life which shocks him into the need for self-examination and self-exploration. It was natural that a sojourn in India should provide this shock for Naipaul. The experience was not a pleasant one, but the pain the author suffered was creative rather than numbing. An Area of Darkness is tender, lyrical, explosive and cruel»

Observer
«Written with the expected beauty of style . . . Instead of diminishing life, Naipaul ennobles it»
Anthony Burgess
«The conclusion is both heart-breaking and bracing: the only antidote to destruction – of dreams, of reality – is remembering. As eloquently as anyone now writing, Naipaul remembers»
Times
«A wonderful book . . . a magical book»
