Sir V.S. Naipaul, a Trinidadian-British author, is renowned for his novels, travel literature, and essays. Born in Trinidad to a family that originated from Nepal and India, he moved to London in 1954. Naipaul's notable achievements include receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2001 and being knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1989.

Miguel Street by V.S. Naipaul is a novel set in a derelict neighborhood in Trinidad's capital. The residents of Miguel Street form a diverse and eccentric community. Among them are Popo, a carpenter obsessed with building an unnamed object; Man-man, who shifts from political ambitions to self-crucifixion; Big Foot, a feared bully with glass tear ducts; and Mrs. Hereira, dominated by her abusive husband. Each character's unique story contributes to the vibrant tapestry of life on Miguel Street.
