When One reads about it, one really begins to think carefully and then you know, most books/reviews are done by men! Imagine, men talking about women writers in public, when in their homes they are beating up their wives. Strange is what I say, also highly hypocritical...I would think that it is now our responsibility to invite women to review our work and damn even the most exceptional mind, of a man. Their vision seems clouded with emotions, which are not ours at all.<br />juliadutta.blogspot.inJulia Duttahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846895945401962741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613632675367188848.post-70838584825752435112012-03-13T19:14:43.811-07:002012-03-13T19:14:43.811-07:00it is very well written. Having lived in west for ...it is very well written. Having lived in west for quarter of a century, there is something I want to point out. Most of the success of immigrants come out of their abrupt disconnection with the root, good or bad it does not matter. This is true for everything, whether science, Litrature, or even politics. In Litrature, when you have more freedom to express and virtually no accountability (I consider Litrature world is a class based world.), such woulds come out ugly. Other worlds such as science need more objective accountability and is more defined. Someone of Naipaul's status commenting on Jane Austin seems laughable, but in his rationalization he probably believes so. I have been wounded twice in my personal life, living in Singhbhum as a Odia first, and living in US as an Indian second time. I see that in Mr. Naipaul's writing, and even other writers, musicians from other cultures who embraced west. To me, yes, the discussion about man and woman as different creations should be done, and actually it is beautiful if you liberate yourself even from that identity. A Writer's quest should always be freedom, and nothing else. I do not think he is out of the identity prison yet. Really liked your compilations and reply.Barun Panihttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002156843357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613632675367188848.post-59151434732369575002012-03-13T19:00:39.165-07:002012-03-13T19:00:39.165-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Barun Panihttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002156843357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613632675367188848.post-19929237613597628482012-03-13T02:56:26.844-07:002012-03-13T02:56:26.844-07:00Ah, yes, that one really hit a nerve with me as we...Ah, yes, that one really hit a nerve with me as well--so much that I devoted a blog post to Naipaul and his views: http://peninherhand.wordpress.com/2011/08/08/v-s-naipaul-vs-the-world/ <br />Those of us who endeavor to write face enough obstacles.
