We're all writers in this company, of course, & fascinated, I'm sure,
in the thought processes of our elders & betters. I'm passing on
a signal which may be of interest from one of my friends on
the Hemingway list in tribute to V.S.Naipaul, the latest Nobel
laureate.
I was a little disappointed that his award seems to have gone wholly
unremarked by all you transatlantic connoisseurs. He's a great
man whose lovely, cool (& often hilarious) prose you can hear echoed
to some extent in his speaking voice in this broadcast extract.

This morning NPR's Weekend Edition - Sunday had an interesting
short interview (in RealAudio) with Nobel Prize winner VS Naipaul.
It includes brief references to Hemingway by the interviewer and
Naipaul. What really struck me, though, was what VSN said about
how he writes and who his models were.

Click on "Experience by segment" and then go to the last entry on
the new page, "Half a Life," (the title of his new novel).
