SHIVA NAIPAUL (1945-1985) was the brother of writer V. S. Naipaul and the author of the novels Fireflies (1970), The Chip-Chip Gatherers (1973), and A Hot Country (1983). Naipaul was born in Trinidad and later settled in the UK, where he studied at University College, Oxford. The Chip-Chip Gatherers was the winner of the Whitbread Literary Award in 1973. Journey to Nowhere, first published in 1982, is the second of three nonfiction books Naipaul penned, along with North of South (1978) and An Unfinished Journey (1986). Naipaul was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1978, and his archive is housed at the British Library. In 2014, The Spectator magazine, which published several of his articles, established the Shiva Naipaul Memorial Prize in Naipaul's name.
