aldwynreads 's review for:
A Bend in the River
by V.S. Naipaul
This book must take place in a town very much like Mbandaka or Kisangani in DRC, where I lived. So many observances and realities that were put to words that I couldn't quite have stated but felt. Also just an interesting narrative of a tail. And I loved the hyacinths that kept floating on down the river, and taking on the feel of the town or the nararator's mood at any given time.
