Thx u for this well deserved & thoughtfully written piece on Sir V.S. Naipaul. Sad to learn of his passing. “House for Mr. Biswas” & “Miguel Street” were mandatory reading in my English Literature classes in high school, w/the latter being a class favorite.

“Never allow yourself to be undervalued—why should one be paid less than a great architect, or lawyer, or surgeon?” “Never give a person a second chance”. “If someone important to you lets you down, you must release them.” “Hate the oppressor—but fear the oppressed".

"There was no whimsy in Naipaul, no trickery, no artifice, nothing mannered or magical—he hated the conceit in beautiful sentences". "Beware of writing that goes fast—that’s a sign it’s probably bad.”

What better cimpliment cd there b : "What every aspiring writer yearns for is the approval of an older established writer; to be told “Yes, you have it, just persevere and you’ll be all right.” He gave me that, and it meant everything".
