About This Novel
Booker Prize-winning classic: There are no good or bad people here; everyone is born far away from their hometown, and all they have in their hands is the masterpiece of desperate Nobel Prize winner V. S. Naipaul. Experience different skin colors, different cultural backgrounds, and the same wandering and lonely soul. "There are no good or bad people here. Everyone is born far away from their hometown, and all they have is despair." Their longing for a foreign land and their desire for freedom have completely turned into confusion and despair amid prejudice and exile. This book brings Naipaul's "zero degree of emotion" to the extreme: calm writing, unhurried narration, and an unobtrusive layout. It contains no emotion at all, but it makes people suddenly feel huge throbbing and shock after reading it. The year the novel was published, it won the Booker Prize with an undisputed advantage.

Forget yourself and go to another real and complex world.
Unconscious sense of substitution, deep and delicate emotions, and plain expressions sometimes make me feel that I have gone crazy. It is so natural, so reasonable, so natural... You can taste it for yourself.
