Sir Vidia's Shadow: A Friendship Across Five Continents
by Paul Theroux

One year before he published his first book, Paul Theroux met V.S. Naipaul and for thirty years they remained friends. Their paths first crossed in 1966 in Uganda where Theroux became Naipaul's driver, interpreter, and apprentice. Theroux was guided by the older Naipaul, but as the years passed their positions were frequently reversed. They became each other's editors, confidants, and teachers. From Singapore to London, India to South America, the United States to Africa the writers corresponded and crossed paths. Told with Theroux's impeccable eye for place and setting, Sir Vidia's Shadow is a very personal account of how one develops as a writer, how a friendship waxes and wanes, and what constitutes the relationship between mentor and student.
