Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. With a preface by the author.V. S. Naipaul's The Mimic Men is a profound, moving and often humorous novel that evokes a colonial mans experience in the post-colonial world. Born of Indian heritage, raised in the British-dependent Caribbean island of Isabella, and educated in England, forty-year-old Ralph Singh has spent a lifetime struggling against the torment of cultural displacement. Now in exile from his native country, he has taken up residence at a quaint hotel in a London suburb, where he is writing his memoirs in an attempt to impose order on a chaotic existence. His memories lead him to recognize the cultural paradoxes and tainted fantasies of his colonial childhood and later life: his attempts to fit in at school, his short-lived marriage to an ostentatious white woman. But it is the return to Isabella and his subsequent immersion in the roiling political atmosphere of a newly self-governing nation every kind of racial fantasy taking wing that ultimately provide Singh with the necessary insight to discover the crux of his disillusionment.A Tolstoyan spirit . . .
