'The Nightwatchman's Occurrence Book' features classic works of fiction - two novels and a collection of stories.

'The Suffrage Of Elvira' is Naipaul's hilarious take on an electoral campaign in the backcountry of Trinidad, where the candidates' tactics include blatant vote-buying and supernatural sabotage.

The eponymous protagonist of 'Mr Stone And The Knights Companion' is an ageing Englishman of ponderously regular habits whose life is thrown into upheaval by a sudden marriage and a professional advancement.

And the stories in 'A Flag On The Island' take us from a Chinese bakery in Trinidad - whose black proprietor faces bankruptcy until he takes a Chinese name - to a rooming house in London, where the genteel landlady plays a nasty Darwinian game with her budgerigars.
