Episode 26 (Pt. 2) - Postcolonial Problems, Decay&Flux in V.S. Naipaul's "The Enigma of Arrival" - a podcast by As I Lay Reading

On this episode, we focus on the last three sections of Naipaul's novel, "Ivy," "Rooks," and "A Ceremony of Farewell." Within these three sections, we explore the controversy surrounding Naipaul's status as a postcolonial writer, and how such elements are woven into the latter half of "The Enigma of Arrival." As the title says, we also dive into one of our favorite topics - decadence - but also how that can morph into an understanding of flux and transition, and how all of that is brilliantly played with by Naipaul.

As always, we hope you enjoy the episode and let us know what you think.write to us at:
