Gurudeva and Other Indian Tales

Gurudeva and Other Indian Tales is a collection of short stories by Seepersad Naipaul. It was first published in Trinidad and Tobago in 1943.[1]

Seepersad Naipaul was a journalist on the staff of the Trinidad and Tobago Guardian.[2] He hoped to find a British publisher for his stories with a view to alleviating his family's financial difficulties. However, he died in his 40s. His son V. S. Naipaul continued the search for a British publisher for his father's work. V. S. Naipaul contributed a foreword when, in 1976, 23 years after the elder Naipaul's death, the collection was re-edited as The Adventures of Gurudeva, and Other Stories and published by André Deutsch.

The publisher Peepal Tree Press intends to republish the collection in 2026 under its original title.[1] It has already republished some of Seepersad Naipaul's journalism for the Trinidad and Tobago Guardian as Seepersad Naipaul, Amazing Scenes: Selected Journalism 1928–1953 (Peepal Tree Press 2024).[3]
