P. Nagachander Rao
JCR. 2021: 753-757
Abstract
An Area of Darkness, V.S. Naipaul's first travelogue about India, will be examined in-depth in this essay. The author's major claims will be evaluated in light of the criticisms leveled at them by a number of well-known critics, with the aim of eschewing nationalist prejudice to the fullest extent possible. If any or all of Naipaul's claims are found to be true, an effort will be made to pinpoint the problem's root cause; if the author made an error in observation, it will be noted without delay. The literary merit of the work will also be evaluated, and any sentences that exhibit literary tendencies will be called out for the readers' attention
