Reseña:  Charting half a lifetime spent exploring the written word these eleven articles include Naipauls boyhood experiences of reading books and his first youthful efforts at writing them the evolution of his ideas about the extent to which individual cultures shape identities and influence literary forms Naipauls observations on Conrad his literary forebear the moving preface he wrote to the only book his father ever published and his reflections on his career ending with his celebrated Nobel lecture `Two Worlds. A remarkable companion piece to The Writer and the World Naipauls previous volume of highly-acclaimed essays Literary Occasions is a stirring contribution to the fading art of the critic and a revelation of a life in letters.
