In the Indian Economic Times, Vikram Doctor leafs through V.S. Naipaul’s books looking for references to meals, concluding that Naipaul is no foodie–”in Naipaul’s novels if food is consumed with enjoyment it usually has disastrous consequences”–but “as a writer who builds on carefully noted details, he uses observation of food–its preparation, rituals, consumption–to convey larger points.” (Doctor also reveals that Naipaul’s sister Savi makes a mean dosti roti.)
