The stories draw on the author's childhood memories of Port of Spain . The author lived with his family in the wood brook  district of the city in the 1940s, and the street in question, Luis Street, has been taken to be the model of Miguel Street.Some of the inhabitants are members of the Hindu community  to which Naipaul belonged.
