Abstract:
One of the most successful writers, who rose to grasp the reins of the concept of diaspora, is V. S. Naipaul, giving it a new and different shape. He is known for his great ability in investigating various types of diasporas successfully. This research aims at studying diaspora in general, its findings, causes, victims, and outcomes. Then, it moves to analyze diaspora in Naipaul' real life. It, finally, analyzes diaspora in Naipaul's The Enigma of Arrival. First, the research strives to make a general perusal of the concept of diaspora. It gives a definition of the concept and its etymology. N

No acquaintance of V. S. Naipaul could possibly imagine that during the scattering of Pat Naipaul’s ashes, the Quran was recited, but the author, highly acclaimed for both his fiction and non-fiction but also known for his hostility towards Islam, allowed the lapse and was even grateful. The recitation of Sura Fatiha in Arabic was performed by Naipaul’s newly-wed wife Nadira, a Muslim woman from Pakistan with links in Kenya. Naipaul was too distraught to accompany her into the woods on Cooper’s Hill; he stood by the car, crying the entire time. The location, near Gloucester, had memories for him

Abstract:
In 1993, the University of Tulsa purchased the V S Naipaul papers and installed the V S Naipaul Archive, principally a paper archive, a year later. In this essay, which is also a homage to the late Professor Tom O’Regan, I examine the value of archives, a scholar’s use of them and the ‘Freudian impressions’ or latent texts embedded in in them. Although once established an archive can acquire mystical power, in reading it, one has to be conscious of processes of selection and redaction built into the archive. One ‘Freudian impression’ that requires attending to is the role of Naipaul’s first wi

Abstract: Insisting on the role of spectator in his travel writing, V.S. Naipaul claims he is merely the “manager of narrative”, who retells objective truths told by the people among whom he travels. Nonetheless, an examination of the ethnic trauma of post-apartheid South Africa in Naipaul’s The Masque of Africa: Glimpses of African Belief (2010) reveals that his voice dominates the narrative. Naipaul’s negative view of post-apartheid South Africa is consistent with his previous views of the “dark continent”. Contrary to other writers’ optimistic attitudes toward South Africa, Naipaul holds a

<strong>Abstract </strong>Naipaul's writing displays an extreme where there are few to no grey areas. And An Area of Darkness is the best example of this. The book tells the story of how Naipaul formed a "mythical" perception of India while residing in Trinidad (Naipaul's grandpa was originally from India, and they moved to the West Indies, where they settled in a little British colony named Trinidad), and how his one-year return to India destroyed that perception. The entire event is intensely personal, and Naipaul (who was just around 30 years old) acts like a picky, ungrateful foreigner who

Abstract:
Bashing V.S. Naipaul’s travel books on India, the Caribbean, the Islamic World and Africa has produced a massive body of writing since the 1980s. Focusing on his perceived racism and Islamophobia, this literature seeks to thoroughly discredit Naipaul as a reliable chronicler of the lives of the victims of Western imperialism. Condemned, indeed, as an apologist for Western imperialism, Naipaul’s admitted brilliance as a writer of fiction has been dulled by these accusations. There is much truth in these critiques, but they are based on arguments that range from the accurate to the problematic t

“Write what you know” - this is the age-old advice said by someone to all the novelists. Surajprasad Naipaul, generally known as V. S. Naipaul, took it more seriously than others. Naipaul’s grandparents migrated from Uttar Pradesh India to Trinidad. His grandfather started working as an indentured laborer in the sugarcane estates there. They faced many problems regarding settlement and adjustment in this new cultural environment. That’s why Naipaul’s works are replete with the themes of diaspora.

Abstract:
This paper aims to explore that the purpose of V.S. Naipaul in synthesizing different features of autobiography, fiction, history, journalism, essay and memoir in The Enigma of Arrival and A Way in the World is the quest for his socio-cultural and aesthetic identities as a man and a writer. Naipaul acts as a historian, explorer, author, character, narrator and traveler, and changes the novel form in both these books to create a discourse which is placed in the uncertain spaces between fiction and non-fiction. Both the novels are hybrid creations in which Naipaul goes beyond generic boundaries

FROM ENLIGHTENMENT MYOPIA TO INTELLECTUAL THAW: Negotiating Rationality in V. S. Naipaul In this thesis I examine V.S.Naipaul’s rationality as it is reflected and foregrounded in his fiction and non-fiction. Naipaul’s texts reveal a consistent valuing of a coolly rational outlook and a fear of the irrational. I argue that before 1983 Naipaul’s attitude is governed by an instrumental rationality that serves the political interests of the empire and justifies the cultural violence that has been committed in the name of Enlightenment rationality.
