Naipaul, V. S. (Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul) (nīpôl'), 1932–, English author, b. Chaguanas, Trinidad; grad. University College, Oxford, 1953. Naipul, whose family is descended from Indian Brahmins, has lived in England since 1950. A master of English prose style, he is known for his penetrating analyses of alienation and exile. In fiction and essays marked by stylistic virtuosity and psychological insight, he often focuses on his childhood and his travels beyond Trinidad. Writing with increasing irony and pessimism, he has often bleakly detailed the dual problems of the Third World: the oppressions of colonialism and the chaos of postcolonialism..

V.S. Naipaul - Hardcover (Peter Smith Pub Inc; Jun 1, 1992)
Todd Jones - Hardcover (Lightning Source Inc; Jun 1, 2001)
I looked on Amazon.com and found both of these authors for the same book. They were published at different times. I hope this will help you.
