Abstract
The topic of this paper is to explore Naipaul’s juxtaposition of the narratives of India he heard while growing up with that of his first visit to India as recounted in An Area of Darkness. Ultimately, Naipaul discovers that the notions of India (in family lore and physically) are incompatible. Furthermore, this paper argues that home for Naipaul exists within his writing and not in a geographically specific place such as Trinidad, India, or England.
