Inn his first fiction for seven years, V.S. Naipaul ranges across the centuries and the oceans, re-creating Walter Raleigh's doomed expedition to the Orinoco, the down-at-heel literary London of the 1950s, Miranda's disastrous invasion of South America. Opening in Port of Spain with Leonard Side, a mortician and decorator of cakes, and closing with a brutal murder in Africa, 'A Way in the World' is an extraordinary, multi-layered portrait of individuals caught in the slip-stream of history.
