A Way in the World is a 1994 book by Nobel laureate V. S. Naipaul. Although it was marketed as a novel in America, A Way in the World, which consists of linked narratives, is arguably something different.[1]
Despite his achievements as a novelist, in later life Naipaul described the novel as an outmoded form.[2] A Way in the World was published in the United Kingdom with the sub-title "sequence", and this is reflected in British reviews.[3] In the United States, A Way in the World was published as a novel, apparently at the request of the American publisher.[4]
