Set on a troubled Caribbean island where Asians, Africans, Americans and former British colonials co-exist in a state of suppressed hysteria Guerrillas is a novel of colonialism and revolution. A white man arrives with his mistress, an Englishwoman influenced by fantasies of native power and sexuality, unaware of the consequences of her actions. Together with a leader of the revolution , they act out a gripping drama of death, sexual violence and spiritual impotence. Guerrillas depicts a convulsion in public life, and ends in private violence. The novel comes with extraordinary force from the centre of a profound moral awareness of the world s plight. Impeccable . . . Guerrillas seems to me Naipaul s Heart of Darkness: a brilliant artist s anatomy of emptiness, and of despair Observer
