Half a Life by V. S. Naipaul follows Willie Chandran, a man born of mixed caste and heritage in India, who embarks on a restless journey across continents in search of identity and meaning. From the literary circles of 1950s London to a decaying Portuguese colony in Africa, Willies life is shaped by displacement, self-invention, and quiet disillusionment. Naipauls spare prose captures the emotional and cultural fragmentation of a man living only half a life, caught between inherited expectations and elusive fulfillment.
