Status Updates From Collected Short Fiction of ...

Finished Miguel Street. It was really good but had a little too much domestic violence (men beating their children and wives, one instance where the wife was actually beating the husband). I liked the colorful characters, the dialogue, and the humor despite the situations being rather depressing. This was my first book set in Trinidad and by Naipaul. 4.5 stars

Miguel Street - Ch 5 Man-Man. Vignettes, with the same characters, from Miguel Street in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Interesting and an easy read.

Miguel Street is incredible. Naipaul’s nonfiction pisses me off endlessly, but his fiction is perfection.
