This paper projects V. S. Naipaul as the leading novelist of the English-speaking Caribbean projecting the problem of an outsider, a feature of his own experience as an Indian in the West Indies, a West Indian in England and a nomadic intellectual in a post-colonial world. It reflects Naipaul's artistic skill in presenting fact and experience through self-analysis and self-monitoring of responses with particular reference to his An Area of Darkness.
