Gloria,
I think you should have started with the more autobiographical ones, such as the one I have attached here - 'Memory of Departure'; and, as a historian, the other one attached - a historical novel - would probably interest you: 'Afterlives'.
As for the Naipulian paradigm in the one you chose to start with, Fawzia Mustafa addressed it here: https://www.jstor.org/stable/24851983.
Gurnah is African, Swahili or Zanzibari if not Tanzanian to even be more precise his Arab ancestry notwithstanding; his story is crucial for anyone who wants to understand the racial and class dynamics underpinning the Zanzibar Revolution, its aftermath and enduring legacy.

Chambi

Chambi,
Have you looked at "Paradise?"I thought I was reading Naipaul.Good grief. X?!?'&$"Read pages 34, 52, 59, 60, 123, 130, 131 etc
I shall move on to "Gravel Heart"and "Last Gift"to see if there is a change in the Naipaulianparadigm. I can think of a thesis title -comparing the two with reference to Paradise.Thank you IB for sending me the texts.
