A Bend in the River

What I remember:
I guess I read this because it is a generally well-regarded piece of literature. The story is blurred in my mind -- I have the impression that the narrator, an Indian man in a post-colonial African country, felt distanced from his surroundings, which may be why I can't recall them clearly myself. Neo-colonialism. Unhappy characters. A disappointment.
