Enjoy a provoking discussion of Naipaul's A House for Mr. Biswas at a book festival in Jaipur, India. Hanif Kureishi and Paul Theroux talk about Naipaul's epic masterpiece while Naipaul is sitting in the audience, which is a little strange, as Kureishi points out. I have also ranted about Naipaul's masterpiece on this blog. Like many of his Trinidad books, there is a rich sense of humor and perhaps even affection, if you delve deeper through the satire or condescension.
