House for Mr. Biswis (Naipaul)

Book Reviews
(Some older works have few mainstream press reviews online. See Amazon and Barnes & Noble for helpful customer reviews.)

Arguably Mr. Naipaul's finest novel, A House for Mr. Biswas...created a bittersweet fictional portrait of his father, a struggling Trinidadian journalist trying to support his large family while holding onto his own dreams.
Michiko Kakutani - New York Times (from a 2000 review of Naipaul's Between Father and Son)

Naipaul has constructed a marvelous prose epic that matches the best nineteenth-century novels for richness of comic insight and final, tragic power.
