North of South

North of South

North of South: An African Journey is a travel book by Shiva Naipaul, originally published by Penguin Books in 1978, and republished as a Penguin Classic in 1997.

The book concerns Naipaul's trip to Kenya and Tanzania and his Kafkaesque efforts to enter to Zambia. The "South" in the title refers to South Africa, hence the Central African location. It can be compared to the travel books of his more famous older brother, V S Naipaul. The book was widely hailed on its original publication by literary titans such as Graham Greene.
