>    V.S. Naipaul, a British author of Indian descent, born in
>    Trinidad. In its announcement, the Royal Swedish Academy of
>    Sciences praised Mr. Naipaul's work for having "united
>    perceptive narrative and incorruptible scrutiny in works that
>    compel us to see the presence of suppressed histories."
