This edition features an introduction by writer Teju Cole. Mr Biswas has been told since the day of his birth that misfortune will follow him – and so it has.
Meaning only to avoid punishment, he causes the death of his father and the dissolution of his family.
Wanting simply to flirt with a beautiful woman, he ends up marrying her.
But in spite of endless setbacks, Mr Biswas is determined to achieve independence, and so he begins the gruelling struggle to buy a home of his own.
