"A short novel on two English people and their search for freedom in a complex African nation accompanies two works of fiction which illustrate the consequences of liberation."
"No writer has rendered our boundariless, post-colonial world more acutely or prophetically than V. S. Naipaul, or given its upheavals such a hauntingly human face. A perfect case in point is this riveting novel, a masterful and stylishly rendered narrative of emigration, dislocation, and dread, accompanied by four supporting narratives. In the beginning it is just a car trip through Africa. Two English people--Bobby, a civil servant with a guilty appetite for African boys, and Linda, a supercilious "compound wife" [117]-- are driving back to their enclave after a stay in the capital [111]. But in between lies the landscape of an unnamed country whose squalor and ethnic bloodletting suggest Idi Amin's Uganda. [111-12, 120, 130-1, 150, 178, 220-40] And the farther Naipaul's protagonists travel into it, the more they find themselves crossing the line that separates privileged outsiders from horrified victims. Alongside this Conradian tour de force are four incisive portraits of men seeking liberation far from home. By turns funny and terrifying, sorrowful and unsparing, In A Free State is Naipaul at his best. From the Trade Paperback edition."
"Verhalen over het isolement van mensen in een voor hen vreemde cultuur."
"Deux récits de voyage "vécus", un court roman sur l'indépendance d'un pays africain et deux récits mettant en scène des Hindous exilés et toujours ce regard paternel sur les peuples du Tiers-Monde. Un beau livre de 1971."
"Une séquence de cinq textes qui regroupe deux récits de voyage "vécus", un roman court sur les lendemains agités de l'indépendance d'un pays africain et deux récits mettant en scène ces Hindous de la diaspora que Naipaul connaît comme personne."
