A Bend in the River (Introduction by Patrick Marnham) - 9781101908198

The only hardcover edition of this acclaimed novel by the recently deceased Nobel Prize winner. 

In this incandescent novel V. S. Naipaul takes us deeply into the life of one man--an Indian who, uprooted by the bloody tides of Third World history, has come to live in an isolated town at the bend of a great river in a newly independent African nation. Naipaul gives us a convincing and disturbing vision of what happens in a place caught between the dangerously alluring modern world and its own tenacious past and traditions.
