Sinossi
Nel 1961 la scena letteraria fu scossa da un romanzo molto diverso da tutti quelli che negli stessi anni venivano letti, discussi e acclamati. Era la possente saga di Mr Biswas, nato in una capanna di Trinidad, involontario responsabile della morte del padre, e da allora destinato a spendere la vita in cerca di una casa diversa da quelle in cui via via si consuma la sua dannazione. Epica resa dei conti col viluppo di sentimenti che lega ciascuno alle proprie origini, commedia nera, satira di un mondo meticcio che ci restituisce, rovesciata, l'immagine dell'Occidente, questo romanzo popolare fu la rivelazione di un universo di suoni, odori e voci che rimane un puro incanto esplorare.

Fun fact touching on both V.S. Naipaul and the James Bond movies. Did you know that A House for Mr. Biswas was once in production as a Broadway musical? The following quote is from the obituary of songwriter John Barry, The New York Times , 2 Feb. 2011: The origins of the James Bond theme are disputed Leggi tutto
"Biswas" is my kind of novel. Some complain that it is a bit meandering and aimless, and this is true to an extent. But what the book aims to accomplish (I suspect) is not to give the reader some nice and tidy story with a beginning, middle, and end. Naipaul is aiming for something far more epic: to Leggi tutto
A hugely enjoyable, though simultaneously excruciating, novel. Naipaul has created a character in Mohun Biswas who is, at once, deeply unsympathetic – prone to minor spites, absurd self-regard, and the petty enactment of drawn-out and demeaning grudges against those nearest to him – but whose strugg Leggi tutto
