Winner of the Booker Prize in 1971, In a Free State is one of Nobel Laureate V. S. Naipaul's many towering literary achievements. It is a story of the desperation and heartbreak we find in those who are displaced and who try, often in vain, to make a home in their new surroundings. Frightening, disquieting, and merciless, this is one of Naipaul's greatest novels: fraught but full of pity.
A young Indian servant in Washington and an Asian West Indian in London are both far from home and desperately trying to build a new life in a deeply unfamiliar world. In between them lies the landscape of an unnamed country, a brutal place reminiscent of Idi Amin's Uganda. This central story is about those who once thought of Africa as liberating but now find themselves in an increasingly harsher reality.
