“I think overtly political novels - those that never transcend or contest their author's conscious intentions and prejudices - are problematic. This is not just true of the innumerable unread books in the socialist realist tradition, but also of novels that carry the burden of conservative ideologies, like Guerrillas, Naipaul's worst book, where the author's disgust for a certain kind of black activist and white liberal is overpowering.” ThinkingKindBookPoliticalCertainBlackWhiteNovelWorstConsciousTraditionPrejudiceIntentionConservativeBurdenIdeologyActivistDisgustingSocialistContestsRealistOverpoweringGuerrillasUnread Books Author:Pankaj Mishra
