Arising out of Naipaul’s lifelong obsession and passion for a country that is at once his and totally alien, India: A Million Mutinies Now relates the stories of many of the people he met traveling there more than fifty years ago. He explores how they have been steered by the innumerable frictions present in Indian society—the contradictions and compromises of religious faith, the whim and chaos of random political forces. This book represents Naipaul’s last word on his homeland, complementing his two other India travelogues, An Area of Darkness and India: A Wounded Civilization.
V. S. Naipaul (1932–2018) was the author of more than thirty books of fiction and nonfiction. His honors include the Nobel Prize for Literature, the Booker Prize, the Trinity Cross, and a knighthood for services to literature.
Sam Dastor studied English at Cambridge and trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. His many television appearances include I, Claudius; Yes, Minister; Mountbatten; and Fortunes of War. He has also appeared in the films Made and Such a Long Journey, recorded over a thousand broadcasts for the BBC, and narrated numerous audiobooks.
Reviews
“Intricate, splendid, and utterly memorable.”
“Warm, human, rich with a cacophony of Indian voices, India: A Million Mutinies Now is about the passions and tragedies of a nation caught between the rush of modernity and the power of tradition… An indispensable book for understanding India at the end of the twentieth century.”
“Brilliant.”
