  <abstract>V.S. Naipaul takes us deeply into the life of one man, an  Indian who, uprooted by the bloody tides of Third World  history, has come to live in an isolated town at the bend  of a great river in a newly independent African nation.  Naipaul gives us the most convincing and disturbing vision  yet of what happens in a place caught between the  dangerously alluring modern world and its own tenacious  past and traditions.</abstract>
