Book summaryBased on Idi Amin's Uganda, Naipaul's novel is about an outsider, a Muslim Indian merchant named Salim, whose store in a small town on the Congo is threatened and finally lost in the chaos of the prevailing political regime. Gradually, not only the store but the town itself succumbs to the corruption. Media reviews"'A Bend in the River' is more than a true and powerful book about Africa. It is...one of those books that make you question many assumptions about the world today." |
