Naipaul, V. S. (Vidiadhar Surajprasad) 1932- (author.).

Summary: "Traces the unlikely career of Ganesh Ramsumair, a failed schoolteacher and impecunious village entrepreneur, and the most beloved politician in Trinidad. To understand a little better, one has to realize that in the 1940s masseurs were the island's medical practitioners of choice."--P. [4] of cover.
