Resumen
Just 40, Ralph Singh--a disgraced colonial minister exiled from Isabella, the Caribbean island of his birth--writes his autobiography in a genteel hotel in a run-down London suburb. As always, Naipauls concern is the ways in which an individual seeks to construct some kind of order in a politically and morally chaotic world. This is one of Naipauls most profound investigations of colonial psychology and the consequences of imperialism.
