Abstract :
A House for Mr.Biswas(1961),by V. S. Naipaul ( b. 1932),portrays an individual's rootlessness, crisis of identity chiefly lying behind the desperate affirmation of traditional culture. Here the longing for house by the protagonist, Mr. MohunBiswas, is an object of desire created by the unhoused state of Seepersad Naipaul, long homeless under the roof of his wife's extended family. “Naipaul explores landscape in order to provide characters with a real home, a true place of belonging so that they will not continue to be homeless wonders, unsure of themselves and their fates. But the mythology of the land is tinged with embarrassment, nervousness, hysteria and pessimism, all products in some way of Naipaul's own history as a colonial with an ambiguous identity” ( Keith, 23).
