Enigma of V. S. Naipaul Sources and Contexts

"Hayward argues that most of Naipaul's work is a complicated blend of fact and fiction and yet, despite some attentive readings, she never probes the implications of these blurred generic boundaries. THE ENIGMA OF V. S. NAIPAUL is meticulously researched, but the argument is diluted by too many quotations, competing with Hayward's own views. this is a useful addition for scholars but its hesitancy will disappoint those in search of the despairing, gloomy but intriguing side of Naipaul."Hayward, Helen is the author of 'Enigma of V. S. Naipaul Sources and Contexts', published 2002 under ISBN 9781403902542 and ISBN 1403902542.
