      <![CDATA[<br />V.S. Naipaul is also a great writer, and one whose fiction and nonfiction I have read and reread over the years. A great human being? Not so much, and does that matter? Ta-Nehisi Coates posted a comment by "Hilzoy" on the writer and the man:

"It would be a mistake not to read Naipaul. He's a gorgeous, gorgeous writer. . . he's also one of the best examples around of someone who is (imho) deeply worth reading, but whose treatment of both women and blacks (esp. blacks outside Africa) is just horrific."
