From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, <i>A House for Mr Biswas</i> is V. S. Naipaul's best-loved novel. With an introduction by writer Teju Cole.
A novel that takes the reader into a closed world of privilege and tradition: for fans of crime fiction, but also true crime - a study of class, religion, and how a worldview which sees violence as an integral part of masculinity, and any empowerment of women as a threat to men's dominance, can only end in tragedy.
Found in the author's archive and published for the first time: a collection of three novellas - a joy for the many fans and followers of Roberto Bolaño.
