In the following review, Plant dismisses the title story of A Flag on the Island as another example of Naipaul's defeatist and predictably pessimistic attitude about the effects of colonialism, but also offers warm praise for the dialogue and humor in the other short stories included.

This is a free excerpt of 62 words. There are 854 words (approx. 3 pages at 300 words per page) in the full critical essay.
