Subject: Re:  Naipaul-Theroux


A US News & World Report story says that Theroux was upset to see in 
a catalog the sale ad for the first editions of several of his books 
inscribed by him as gifts to Naipaul.  Prseumably, Nadira Alvi had 
cleaned the library shelves and gotten rid of the Theroux volumes.  Is 
there anyone on the list who has seen the ad?  I would like to know the 
asking price of these first editions.

I met Paul Theroux in Calcutta in 1972 or 73 when he was researching his 
"railway bazaar" book.
