Between Father and Son: Family Letters Paperback - 2001
by V. S. Naipaul
A collection of letters between noted emigre writer V.S. Naipaul, living in England, and his father living in Trinidad are presented, illuminating the relationship between a sacrificing father and his determined son as they encourage each other to persevere with their writing.
From the publisher
First line
I wonder what is the matter with this typewriter.
From the jacket flap
V. S. Naipaul is perhaps the most famous emigre writer since Vladimir Nabokov, and though he always spoke and wrote English, his self-imposed exile to England from his native Trinidad represented a cultural shift as profound as learning to think in another language. In this moving, novel-like correspondence, we witness the great writer's early transformation from an expatriate adrift to a world-renowned man of letters.
The letters collected here illuminate with unalloyed candor the relationship between a sacrificing father and his determined son as they encourage each other to persevere with their writing. For though his father's literary aspirations would go unrealized, Naipaul's triumphant career would ultimately vindicate his beloved mentor's legacy.
