Vintage, July 2002. Trade Paperback . Good. The time is World War II, the setting a derelict street in Trinidad's capital, Port of Spain. In this tender early novel, Naipaul renders the residents' lives (and the legends that arise around them) with Dickensian verve and Chekhovian compassion. As is. Underlining and marginalia.
