Family Love, Artistic Ambitions

Hi everyone,

Due to work commitments, I was unable to attend Wednesday and Thursday of 

the conference. However after hearing everyone's comments and Dr. Tewarie's  

presentation, I am even more disappointed than before that I could not be there. Dr. 

Tewarie's presentation, entitled Family Love, Artistic Ambitions, gave insight into the 

personal life of V.S. Naipaul and his relationship with his family, and even more so, the 

relationship between V.S. Naipaul, his father, Seepersad and his brother Shiva. This 

keynote address was the first of the day and provoked a lively discussion afterward. I am 

looking forward to the rest of the conference today and will try to post more during the 

course of the day.

Hi Danielle, I really liked this presentation by Dr. Tewari, it stood out for me the fact that family love is tested by family ambitions, talking specifically about artistic ambitions. I took several notes of this presentation but I cannot recall if Dr. Tewari mentioned any theory used in his research. Do you remember Dr. Tewari making special mention of a particular theory?
