About

The time is World War II, the setting a derelict street in Trinidad's capital, Port of Spain, a place that might be dismissed as a slum were it not for the magnificent eccentricity of its residents. In this tender, funny early novel, V. S. Naipaul renders their lives (and the legends that arise around them) with Dickensian verve and Chekhovian compassion. The result is a work of virtuoso observation and mercurial mood shifts, by turns sweetly melancholy and laugh-out-loud funny.
