In these eleven extended pieces V. S. Naipaul charts more than half a century of personal enquiry into the mysteries of the written word and of fiction in particular. Here are his boyhood experiences of reading books and his first youthful efforts at writing them; the evolution of his ideas about the extent to which individual cultures shape identities and influence literary forms; observations on Conrad, his literary forebear; the moving preface he wrote to the only book his father ever published; and his reflections on his career, ending with his celebrated Nobel lecture, 'Two Worlds'. A remarkable companion piece to The Writer and the World, Naipaul's previous volume of highly acclaimed essays, Literary Occasions is a stirring contribution to the fading art of the critic, and a revelation of a life in letters. 'He is an exceptionally good and perceptive critic a few passages on Dickens are worth whole books by others and when he addresses the art of fiction he not only writes beautifully (as always) but with complete humility' New Statesman 'Literary Occasions, like most of Naipaul's writing about himself, is remarkable for its honest lucidity and stringent self-criticism' Terry Eagleton, Harper's 'The writing itself is a wonder of clarity, complex ideas given shape in simple English, and achieving that most difficult of tasks having writer and reader seem simultaneously to be making the same journey' New York Times Book Review
