V(idiadhar) S(urajprasad) Naipaul (1932-)

"Generally considered the leading novelist of the English-speaking 
Caribbean, winner of the Nobel Prize in literature 2001. Naipaul's writings 
express the ambivalence of the exile, a feature of his own experience as an 
Indian in the West Indies, a West Indian in England, and a nomadic 
intellectual in a postcolonial world. His constant refusal to avoid asking 
unwelcome questions have arisen much controversy. Naipaul has also drawn 
considerable criticism from left-wing writers for his politically incorrect 
views of Third World social and political attitudes."
