Sir vidiadhar surajprasad naipaul biography of william
He was born in Chaguanas, Trinidad on August 17, 1932, the eldest son of Seepersad Naipaul, a locally renowned journalist. By the age of 14, Naipaul resolved to leave the island and managed to do so by winning a scholarship to study at Oxford.
After graduation, he worked briefly in London at the National Portrait Gallery and BBC while trying to make a start as a writer; he married Patricia Ann Hale in 1955.
Over the several years during which he published his first novels (The Mystic Masseur, 1957; The Suffrage of Elvira, 1958; Miguel Street, 1959), which offered comic and formally innovative portrayals of West Indian life, Naipaul reviewed books at The New Statesman.
