Produktinformationen "Half a Life"
In Half a Life we are introduced to the compelling figure of Willie Chandran. Springing from the unhappy union of a low-caste mother and a father constantly at odds with life, Willie is naively eager to find something that will place him both in and apart from the world. Drawn to England, and to the immigrant and bohemian communities of post-war London, it is only in his first experience of love that he finally senses the possibility of fulfilment.In its humorous and sensitive vision of the half-lives quietly lived out at the centre of our world, V. S. Naipaul's graceful novel brings its own unique illumination to essential aspects of our shared history.Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.'Parts are as sly and funny as anything Naipaul has written. Nobody who enjoys seeing English beautifully controlled should miss this novel' - John Carey, Sunday Times
