akshay 's review for:
A Bend in the River
by V.S. Naipaul
I first read this book years ago when I was in college and was buring through post-colonial works at the recommendation of a friend. I went back to it last month for my book club and it was even better on second read (listen? I used audio books). Themes: post colonialism, displacement, economic cycles, dictators, immigrant self-doubt and psyche, migration, economic migration, new world vs old world/ globalization, intellectual missionaries. It's really dark and good.
