Abstract
In the many books that V. S. Naipaul has published, Pat Naipaul is mentioned only once, and obliquely (the prologue to An Area of Darkness, where she is referred to as ‘my companion’). But her intelligence, her encouragement, her love and her discernment are behind every book that Naipaul has written.
