Product Details

Praise

“One of the few contemporary writers of whom we can speak in terms of greatness.” —Newsday

“Miguel Street is the Bowery, the Tenderloin, and the Catfish Row of Trinidad’s Port of Spain–its citizens a loony multitude whose knavery often rises from real kinship with pathos and tragedy…. Naipaul is at his best in these swift caricatures of human depravity.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“Amusing and poignant…. Excellent reading.” —Chicago Tribune

“Naipaul does not tell stories. By some miraculous sleight-of-hand he takes you to Port of Spain and shows you the rich, bawdy, consequential lives of the Trinidadians, as though there were no intervening veil of words…. I rather suspect the mantle of Chekhov has fallen on Mr. Naipaul’s shoulders.” —Saturday Review
