‘Both unputdownable and utterly engaging’ Jonathan Raban, The Times Literary Supplement’I started reading Theroux’s Sir Vidia’s Shadow, the story of his friendship with V. S. Naipaul over thirty years and five continents – its origins, development, and sad, enigmatic termination. I couldn’t, as they say, put it down. I don’t know of a more revealing study of the peculiar nature of friendship between professional writers, an unstable compound of empathy, solidarity and rivalry. Theroux’s portrait of Naipaul . . . may be [his] finest literary creation’ David Lodge, Guardian Books of the Year’Thoroughly compelling. We can call it a memoir, or a biographical sketch, but it has more in it – more candour, more intensity, more angry puzzlement – than we would normally expect from either of these genres. I can think of no other book that renders in such merciless detail a still-living public figure’ Sunday Telegraph
