"In a Free State" deals in displacement. It tells first of an Indian servant in Washington, then of an Asian West Indian in London who is in jail for murder. Then the story moves to Africa, to a fictional country something like Uganda or Rwanda. The two main characters are English. They once found Africa liberating, but now it has gone sour on them. At a time of tribal conflict they have to make the long drive to the safety of their compound. In the background, the threat of violence looms. The voices in this novel are breathtakingly vivid, while the characters are portrayed with an intelligence and sensitivity that is rarely seen in contemporary writing. Dennis Potter described the book as one 'of such lucid complexity and such genuine insight, so deft and deep, that it somehow manages to agitate, charm, amuse and excuse the reader all at the same pitch of experience'. This is one of V.S. Naipaul's greatest novels, hard but full of pity.

评分看完《米格尔街》很佩服奈保尔,怎么写的这么活灵活现的,这些人啊栩栩如生。 所以又拿了 自由国度回来。图书馆里奈保尔的书很多,有一排。随手拿的,不算厚。 一页页翻,不知道前后有连接没?看完楔子一集两个短篇。还是觉得这是天才笔力,简单的就写出了那些底层人的...
