In light of perspectives of New Criticism，narratologibsp;theory，psychologibsp;realism and cultural otope，this book tries to disclo“bsp;Writing”in Naipaul''s four important works（“The Enigma of Arrival”“The Writer''s People”“Half a life”and“Magibsp;Seeds”）and his ethibsp;and themes and artistibsp;features of the works as well.Hence，I argue that“bsp;Writing”is the core of Naipaul''s works，whibsp;pris of the following aspects：Works should reflebsp;moral ，ethibsp;empathy and“Modern Sensibility”of the writer，inate tho most characteristibsp;of times and society so as to be bsp;to history and truth.
This book sists of six parts.The“Introdu”part generally introdubsp;Naipaul''s three writing periods and gives a relatively prehensive and brief introdu to studies on V.S.Naipaul at home and abroad whiling pointing out the main standpoints of this book.Part One is the detailed prentation of“bsp;Writing”，its background of culture，history and main tents as well.I argue that it is his strong ethibsp; and writing aesthetibsp;that lead to Naipaul''s critibsp;asssment to tho masterpiebsp;by other writers，whibsp;are also the keynotes to read and uand his works.Part Two is the study of the pro work“The Writer''s People”，a map of Naipaul''s thought（called by“New York Book Review”）.It is“bsp;Writing”that leads to Naipaul''s different remarks about“Madame Bovary”and“Salammbo”by Flaubert.While repudiating ists，Naipaul shows his great on the literature，history and culture of Trinidad through his remarks on tho writers from Trinidad，his hometown.Upon his unique humanistibsp;views of history to pee amazingly into Indian history and literature，Naipaul points out that Indian people''s blindness to their own faults is the root bsp;for their ignoranbsp;and backwardness.prehensive evaluation of Mahatma Gandhi not only shows Naipaul''s sustainable academibsp;efforts，but reflebsp;objectively the formation of his“bsp;Writing”thought.Part Three highlights“The Enigma of Arrival”，an autobiographibsp;hinking highly of Trinidad Indian''s humanistibsp;attitudes towards religion，Naipaul in esnbsp;prents his views of ideal life and criticizes Britain aristocrabsp;for its bad efforts on modern people.Part Four is the study of the novel“Half a Life”and its quel“Magibsp;Seeds”，whibsp;attempts to analyze the hero William.As a porary“superfluous man”，with his loss and struggle for idealism，William is typibsp;among tho immigrants in globalization to some degree.Perspectives of psychologibsp;realism and culture otope，vividly describing the psychologibsp;activities of William，are two aspebsp;of“bsp;Writing”Thought.clusion is the last part.
