5/26/2023 0 Comments An era of darkness written by![]() When he says “An Area of Darkness” he really means it.Īlmost every Indian he sees is stunted and ugly. Not just an account, a very sordid account. Naipaul is an account of a year that he spent in India. Over the years I’ve tried reading a couple of his books, but somehow, his writing reeks of a cliched sense of superiority that I find quite off-putting, so I could never go beyond a few chapters. Most probably it was some “Right wing” argument that some portion of this book must have supported or validated in some way. I remember someone’s comment on Twitter prompted me to start reading this book. Then last weekend I randomly started reading it and finished it within a couple of days. Then again I started reading it when he died. Then I got put off and stopped reading it. I started reading it when Naipaul was still alive. I started reading this book over a year ago. ![]()
