Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 17 Aug 18 A great loss

The recent demise of 85-year-old V.S. Naipaul who won the Nobel Prize in literature was sad (“Nobel-winning writer V.S. Naipaul dies aged 85”, Gulf News, August 12). He was a man known for his creative works, both in fiction and non-fiction, and his achievements should be credited. Out of his 30 books, A bend in the river, was a

masterpiece. He is acknowledged as one of the best novelists and writers in the world. His departure is a great loss to the literary world.

May his soul rest in peace.
