«Una casa per al senyor Biswas» is the literary novel by V. S. Naipaul, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (640 pages, in Catalan).
Mohun Biswas has spent years seeking independence and a life of his own in Trinidad. Married to a daughter of the Tulsi family, he feels increasingly subordinate, but he holds on to his dream: to buy a house. The novel recounts his solitary struggle against incomprehension, traditions and superstition, and his search for identity in a postcolonial world.
Translation by Albert Nolla Cabellos. The original novel, A House for Mr. Biswas, was published in 1961. The work belongs to the MOLU s.XX - Les Millors Obres collection.
For readers of literary fiction and twentieth-century classics, with an interest in postcolonial literature and the work of Nobel laureate 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.
