SUMMARY
"HALF A LIFE is not one of Naipaul's major undertakings, but then I don't think it was meant to be. It is intended to give us yet another perspective on his corpus, in which one detail illuminates another....To understand the progression it represents, it must be related to Naipaul's own works, and situated in that particular imaginative universe.Naipaul, V. S. is the author of 'Half a Life', published 2001 under ISBN 9780375407376 and ISBN 0375407375.
