«Media vida» is the novel by V. S. Naipaul, published by Areté in hardcover (240 pages, in Spanish).
In colonial India, Willy Chandran is born to a father angry with the world and a mother of lower caste. Willy, naive and eager to fit in, moves to England and immerses himself in postwar London, with its clubs, its lonely streets and the literary scene; a story about identity, exile, love and the lives lived halfway.
First installment of the Willie Chandran series. Originally published in English as Half a Life in 2001, it was nominated for the Booker Prize that year.
For readers of literary fiction and contemporary narrative seeking stories about identity, exile and belonging, and for book clubs.
Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul was a Trinidad and Tobago-born British writer renowned for his works of fiction and nonfiction in English. He is known for his comic early novels set in Trinidad, his bleaker novels of alienation in the wider world, and his vigilant chronicles of life and travels. He wrote in prose that was widely admired, but his views sometimes aroused controversy. He published more than thirty books over fifty years.
