NOLS NYC Book Club Discusses “A Bend in the River”

June 10, 2008

NOLS- NYC Book Club – Meeting July 16,2008

Join us for a discussion of A Bend in the River by Nobel Prize winner V. S. Naipaul. Here’s a snippet of what Amazon.com says about Naipaul’s acclaimed book:

“This is one of those novels that can haunt the imagination for the
rest of the reader’s life. It is a true masterpiece of exploratory
fiction, from the opening paragraph, “The world is what it is,” to the
closing images of moths “white in white light.” Its world is brutal
and alien, yet brings out the humanity, vanities, and hopes that all of
us share. As a window into the mind of underdeveloped countries, it is unsurpassed.”
