A review by anetq
Miguel Street by V.S. Naipaul

3.0

A boy's portrayal of the men in the street around him. It's probably well written, but a bit tedious to me. Self-important men who mostly live off their women and beat them as thanks. I guess there is the "charm of the eccentric slum" but I just found them all to be a bunch of assholes. Different types, but none the less... It might have been interesting to hear the women's stories, but alas, this was a manly-man book.
