I actually liked Headlong very much. I read a Bend in the River years and years ago, but don't remember it very well -- I'm also having problems reading Naipaul recently, since his recent political extremism colours the earlier stuff too much for me. Um, let's see -- Vassanji & Mistry are both good writers, but I haven't read either of those two.

Have you read English Passengers, btw?
