Based on Naipaul's own experiences of leaving Trinidad and Tobago and moving to the Wiltshire countryside it is an inextricably melancholic account of rustic England.

Naipaul recalls in A Turn in the South, 'I was given the name of a writer who had been educated at Tuskegee, Al Murray. He was, or had been, a protégé of Ralph Ellison...His sitting room was full of books and records...the books were a serious collection of twentieth-century American writing in first or very early editions.' Al Murray would later say, 'Naipaul is like a satellite in orbit. He's got an objectivity that no one else has, and he knows that the past is an albatross.' Inscribed, literary association copies of Naipaul's works are distinctly uncommon.
