"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.

評分In A Free State is much better than the other stories in this book. It is modern-style, cool, taut, rthymic and balanced. You'll never be bored by this story if you're reading its original English version. The emotion is controlled; the conversation is prov...
評分康德说:所谓自由,不是随心所欲,而是自我主宰。可谁又曾真正拥有过自己,能够主宰自我呢? 自由,就是一片丛林,你我早已在追逐自由国度中迷失了方向。 v.s.奈保尔: 我曾经在镜中端详自己, 决定做个自由人, 然而现在, 自由使我认识到, 我有一张脸,一副躯体; 我必须在...
