Opis

This study explores the theme of exile in the literary career of V.S. Naipaul, approaching the subject from two perspectives: as an idea that recurs in Naipaul's writings and as a personal experience that has shaped his vision of the world. Informed by the theoretical insights of Mikhail Bakhtin and Tzvetan Todorov, On the Margins offers readings of Naipaul's major works, from Miguel Street (1959) to India: A Million Mutinies Now (1990).
