Beschreibung

4to. 1 1/2 pp. Printed letterhead. With orig. envelope. Letter written in response to an "emblematic card" that Sontrop had sent to Naipaul after it had become known that he had won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2001. "You were among my best publishers, and I cherish your kindness. The prize was quite unexpected. I thought that the political consent had slowed too strongly against me. In those days you were a supporter, and that does not go unremembered. […]". Included: Typescript letter signed "Yours ever Vidia N.", to [typescript:] "Dear Theo [Sontrop]", dated "2 December 1991", commenting favourably on the Dutch paperback edition of A House for Mr Biswas that Sontrop had sent him and sending Sontrop "the reprinted Updike review of the Loss of El Dorado from the New Yorker" and calling his attention to the review of the book by Gregory Rabassa.
