Letter Published in The National  UAE ON 13Aug 18  Regarding your story The brilliant but troubling legacy of VS Naipaul (August 12), the recent demise of the 85-year-old author, who won the Nobel prize for literature, was very sad to read.This legend was known for his creative and literary works, both in fiction and non-fiction, and had a literary canon that was laudable.Out of the 30 books he wrote over a remarkable career, A Bend in the River was a masterpiece.He was acknowledged as a classic novelist and a world-class writer.The Trinidad-born Laureate’s departure is a great loss to the world of literature. May his soul rest in peace.K Ragavan, Bengalaru
