Naipaul.  A profound and moving novel that evokes a colonial man's experience in the postcolonial world. Born of Indian heritage, raised in the British-dependent Caribbean island of Isabella, and educated in England, forty-year-old Ralph Singh has spent a lifetime struggling against the torment of cultural displacement. Now in exile from his native country, he has taken up residence at a quaint hotel in a London suburb, where he is writing his memoirs in an attempt to impose order on a chaotic existence. His memories lead him to recognize the cultural paradoxes of his childhood and later life: his attempts to fit in at school, his short-lived marriage to an ostentatious white woman. But it is the return to Isabella and his subsequent immersion in the roiling political atmosphere of a newly self-governing nation that ultimately provide Singh with the necessary insight to discover the crux of his disillusionment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Academia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67712665682240,"sku":"10985","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/6664\/7616\/files\/the-mimic-men-99_678b9593-cd2f-4745-ab11-3908b64cd49a.jpg?v=1791355635","url":"https:\/\/jarirbooksusa.com\/ar\/products\/the-mimic-men","provider":"Jarir Books USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
