Naipaul: Demon Seed
About This Novel
"The Devil's Seed will connect the different worlds I have lived in and will sum up my entire literary career." - V. S. Naipaul I have always lived someone else's life. In the eyes of my sister, I was a loser; in the guerrillas, I was a little transparent person who was completely ignored; after eight years of revolution, my only accomplishment was walking around in the woods. What else can I rely on to keep myself alive? I can't find a home anywhere in my life. I seem to be actively working hard and dedicating myself to my ideals, but I just jumped into some kind of absurdity. The story of "Demon Seed" is in the same vein as "Half Life". "Half Life" is the story of the first half of "my" life, while "Demon Seed" is the story of the second half of my life. The writing of "Half Life" coincided with V. S. Naipaul winning the Nobel Prize for Literature; three years later, Naipaul finished writing "The Devil's Seed" and announced the end of writing.
