Authority and authorship in V.S. Naipaul[electronic resource] /Imraan Coovadia. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - 188 p. :ill. ;22 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Authority and misquotation in A bend in the river -- The cold joke -- V.S. Naipaul and the black power killings in Trinidad -- V.S. Naipauland the Muslims -- V.S. Naipaul and the uses of South Africa.

This book traces the ways in which problems of imaginative authorityand authorship structure the fiction and non-fiction of V.S. Naipaul and resonate in postcolonial literature. Imraan Coovadiaargues that thepost-colonial societies Naipaul studies in novels such as A Bend in the River and Guerillas are defined by the fragility of their authority. Coovadia demonstrates through close reading, how Naipaul, born in Trinidad to an Indian family and resident of the United Kingdom, asserts hisimaginative authority over many different situations across the globe through a complex literary rhetoric.
