«Miguel Street» is V.S. Naipaul's early novel, published by Debolsillo in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
Narrated by an unnamed teenager during the Second World War, the novel focuses on the neighbours of Miguel Street, a slum in the capital of Trinidad. They include Popo, the carpenter who builds «the thing without a name»; Man-man, who flees the office to stage his own crucifixion; Big Foot, the timid bully, and Mrs Hereira. Naipaul combines humour and compassion to tell their lives and the legends they create around themselves.
Work originally published in 1959, in this 2007 Spanish edition translated by Flora Casas. Part of the Contemporánea collection.
For readers of literary fiction and twentieth-century classics, including those who follow the work of Nobel Prize in Literature winner V.S. Naipaul.
Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul was a Trinidad and Tobago-born British writer renowned for his works of fiction and nonfiction in English. He is known for his comic early novels set in Trinidad, his bleaker novels of alienation in the wider world, and his vigilant chronicles of life and travels. He wrote in prose that was widely admired, but his views sometimes aroused controversy. He published more than thirty books over fifty years.
