Popular Suffrage
About This Novel
Politics can be fun, full of drama and raw humor. Politics is a dirty game. But "Election for All" shows you that politics can be fun. This book tells the story of an election farce that took place in an Indian community on the island of Trinidad. People are full of confidence and ready to participate in a national carnival. Mr. Harbans, a small businessman, happily formed his own campaign committee. The officials painted slogans enthusiastically, and the voters all prepared their pockets for money. The sudden advent of democracy filled the country with vitality and confidence, and everyone gained: jobs, fame, and even money. But democracy, like other good things, is sweet at the beginning and will turn extremely sour in the end. "Süddeutsche Zeitung": "The 20 most interesting novels in the history of world literature." This is one of Naipaul's most readable works, full of drama and raw humor. --Goodreads.
