A comic tale set in colonial Trinidad, The Mystic Masseur is shrewdly funny and outrageously inventive. Naipaul's first novel follows the unlikely career of Ganesh Ramsumair, a fai led schoolteacher and struggling masseur turned revered mystic. Made into a film by Ismail Merchant in 2001. Show more
