Subj: V.S. Naipaul Archive

This message will be posted to several lists. We regret
duplication.

The archive of writer V.S. Naipaul will be formally opened to
scholars during a ceremony Tuesday evening, March 22, 1994 in
McFarlin Library, The University of Tulsa, Tulsa, Oklahoma. The
ceremony, which precedes a formal dinner, will take place between
7 and 7:30 p.m., Central Standard time.

Friends of Mr. Naipaul and of the University are invited to
participate in the ceremony by sending an electronic message to:

Naipaul@Vax1.UTulsa.Edu

Messages which arrive during the half-hour of the ceremony are
particularly welcomed, but the address is open now and will
remain open through March 23. All messages will be shared with
Mr. Naipaul, who is visiting Tulsa to help with the organization
of his papers.

Naipaul was born in Trinidad in 1932 and educated at Oxford
University. The first of his now twenty books was published in
1955. _A House for Mr Biswas_ was his first international
success. He has written on Argentina (_The Return of Eva
Peron_), Africa (_A Bend in the River_), India (_India: A Million
Mutinies Now_), the world of Muslim fundamentalism (_Among the
Believers), and the American south (_A Turn in the South_).

McFarlin Library now houses all Naipaul's surviving manuscripts
and his personal and professional correspondence through 1984.
Naipaul will continue to add materials throughout his life. An
inventory of the current archive will shortly be placed on a
University gopher for anonymous FTP. Readers who wish access
information about this, or who would like to be sent an
electronic copy when it is ready, may mention this in their
message or later contact:
