SIR VIDIA'S SHADOW by Paul Theroux

One year before he published his first book, Paul Theroux met the acclaimed writer V S Naipaul - 'Vidia', as he was known. For thirty years they remained in close touch, over five continents. Sir Vidia's Shadow is a double portrait of the writing life, but it is more, for travel and reading and emotional ups and downs are also aspects of this friendship, which is powerful and enriching and often a comedy - and ultimately, a bridge that is burned.
