The first major biography of V.S. Naipaul, the controversial and enigmatic Nobel laureate: a stunning writer whose only stated ambition was greatness, in pursuit of which goal nothing else was sacred.
Beginning in rich detail in Trinidad, where Naipaul was born into an Indian family, Patrick French skillfully examines Naipaul’s life within a displaced community and his fierce ambition at school. He describes how, on scholarship at Oxford, homesickness and depression struck with great force; the ways in which Naipaul’s first wife helped him to cope and their otherwise fraught marriage; and Naipaul’s struggles throughout subsequent uncertainties in England, including his twenty-five-year-long affair.
Naipaul’s extraordinary gift—producing, uniquely, masterpieces of both fiction and nonfiction—is most of all born of a forceful, visionary impulse, whose roots French traces with a sympathetic brilliance and devastating insight.

評分关于书名，译者周成林先生“在极为精细的翻译工作中，他认为《世事如斯》这一书名过于文雅，而奈保尔的文字以简洁平白著称，因此《世事如此》更切合传主的人生及其文字风格。” ——我猜测，编辑选择“如斯”的原因大概是：“世事”这个词也文雅。如果译者想搭配“简洁平白”...
評分奈保尔传记书名里的“The World is What it is”中文翻译为“世事如斯”，这个“斯”看起来无所指，孔子的那句“逝者如斯夫”，前面有“子在川上曰”，所以“斯”说的是“川”，而“世事如斯”的“斯”，初读，就不知道“斯”究竟所指者何了。 看英文，大体明白，世事就是它所...
