Theoretical analysis of "Seepersad & Sons: Naipaulian Creative Synergies"

The conference proved to be a bitter sweet experience for me because  I was

unable due to the previous commitments, to attend on Thursday 29^th, which from the feedback I

received from my colleagues, was very interesting and controversial, and also on the morning of

Friday 30^th. I would have particularly liked to hear the contributions of Dr Raymond Ramcharitar and

Mr Shastri Maharaj. On the positive side I enjoyed the presentations of Prof Aaron Eastley

on the writings of Seepersad Naipaul, and the presentations of the afternoon of Friday 30^th  by Ms

Megahan Cleghorn, Ms Fariza Mohammed and Mr. Varistha Persad. I also enjoyed the closing

ceremony at the Naipaul House in St. James, where Akal, the sister of the writer, read the preface to

the latest edition of the novel ‘A Bend in the River’, which was written by V.S himself, and which Mrs

Naipaul-Akal said she had never read before her very recent purchase this edition. This preface was

very interesting because it spoke about the process that led to the writing of this particular novel. A

process that mystified Mr Naipaul himself, because it was a bit haphazard, and a lot of

the inspiration came for his dreams.
