CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF PICADOR BOOKS One of BBC’s 100 Novels That Shaped Our World. Heart-rending and darkly comic, V. S. Naipaul’s A House for Mr. Biswas has been hailed as one of the twentieth century’s finest novels, a classic that evokes a man’s quest for autonomy against the backdrop of post-colonial Trinidad. Mr Biswas has been told since the day of his birth that misfortune will follow him – and so it has. Meaning only to avoid punishment, he causes the death of his father and the dissolution of his family. Wanting simply to flirt with a beautiful woman, he ends up marrying her. But in spite of endless setbacks, Mr Biswas is determined to achieve independence, and so he begins the grueling struggle to buy a home of his own. Part of the Picador Collection, a new series showcasing the best of modern literature.
