This book examines the genre of travel writing through the works of V. S. Naipaul and Shiva Naipaul, highlighting its hybrid nature as a blend of fact, fiction, memory, and interpretation. It explores how both writers transform travel into a means of engaging with culture, identity, and postcolonial realities across regions such as India, the Caribbean, and Africa. While reassessing V. S. Naipaul’s contribution, the study brings much-needed attention to Shiva Naipaul’s overlooked work. By situating their writings within a broader literary and cultural context, the book presents travel writing as a dynamic and significant form of modern literary expression.
