Thursday, January 22, 2004 1971 VS Naipaul In A Free State The terrible, low-rider, leather jacketed and switchbladed violent prose of VS Naipaul has never been so sharply put to use as it is here, in "In A Free State", a novel so audacious, funny, and deviant, that a mockery of Christ himself never saw so many eyes aboggle. -- From a rather funny article, Unsolicited Blurbs for Previous Winners of The Booker Prize, from Forget Magazine. (The blurb for Arundhati Roy's first/only/best/worst novel, The God of Small Things, is particularly hilarious.)
