VS Naipaul, the Nobel Prize Winner on Literature, in 2009, appears to present his Caribbean’s voice. However, his status also stimulates a conflict with his ancestry people, especially about the concept of postcolonial home. This phenomenon seems applicable to almost all VS Naipaul’s works, since those works’ tone about Trinidad, his ancestry colonized land, refers to its position of being inferior, in comparison to England, the colonizer of Trinidad. Also, in the novels, Naipaul applies the strategy of “the character I,” in which readers might interpret that all facts of all his novels were about VS Naipaul’s true experiences. One of the models is the novel The Enigma of Arrival. On the other hand, as a matter of fact VS Naipaul has an interesting and important concept, dealing with his ideology on the postcolonial home. Here, he inserts a new paradigm in holding the notion of home, which is not about the past but the future. By focusing on The Enigma of Arrival, this paper specifies the discussion on how the conflict concerned with the “home”-ness appears. This study applies postcolonial approach, especially in the context of Caribbean postcoloniality as the new paradigm of postcolonialism. Keywords—home, Caribbean, postcolonialism, ancestor, Naipaul
