No two people in this world have ever deserved each other more than Naipaul and Theroux. I hope that in Hell they will be confined together for eternity, in straitjackets and leg irons, just out of spitting range.

What does any of that have to do with his books? Philip Larkin's reputation as a poet and critic didn't suffer after his biography was released. Humans are deeply flawed creatures. Writers maybe more than most of us. That's not news.

Does anyone else think the reason "Margaret" didn't want to be interviewed is because she's imaginary? Seriously, would anyone really worship this Dork Master's penis? I doubt it. I doubt any woman looked at this guy and said 'hubba hubba'.

I once found myself sitting one row in front of the current Lady Naipaul, Nadira, at a concert. She was very good looking, very amusing, very cutting. All in all an entirely formidable woman. I remember thinking, "she seems like she'd be fun to talk to at a party, but I certainly wouldn't want to be her enemy."

he sounds exactly like picasso. honestly, no worse. in fact, if naipaul has no children to dis, he comes off somewhat better.
