Naipaul leaving Paul Theroux to pay the bill for tea. As W.H. Auden observed, writers have no small talk when they meet; as evidenced here, this frequently leads to fireworks. An anthology of rivalry, jealousy, hatred, bitterness and revenge, dotted with occasional moments of admiration, magnanimity and affection". -- Back cover.
