Shiva Naipaul

The Spectator is establishing an annual prize in memory of Shiva Naipaul, details of which are still to be worked out, though it will be awarded to a young writer. In addition to the Spectator's contribution, we would welcome whatever sums readers would like to donate. Donations, please, to the Spectator Shiva Naipaul Memorial Fund (Account No. 261529), Drummonds Bank, 49 Charing Cross, London SW1A 2DX.
