Sir Vidia's Shadow: A Friendship Across Five Continents

Theroux's account of his 30-year friendship with the legendary V.S. Naipaul is an intimate record of a literary mentorship that traces the growth of both writers' careers and explores the unique effect each had on the other. It is also the story of how a friendship waxes and wanes between two men who have set themselves on the perilous journey of a writing life.
