A Pi n = a good article, about = reversed. Ur = sometimes surly, alternate letters.

Sorry,Matakari, that was a bit rushed. A pi An, was the good article bit.

 

PS EV is Chalicea... maybe one for you?

Question Author

Thanks, NACW! And I'll certainly be visiting Chalicea!

Matakari, glad I could help. I liked the slight misdirection in the clue - I'm sure quite a few people regard Naipaul as a 'surly writer'!

 

Chalicea was... very gentle.

 

Question Author

Yes, NACW, Vidya Naipaul was a truly gifted and prolific Trinidadian writer, but unfortunately he tended to be quite cynical and surly towards the land of his birth in particular. Many Trinidadians despised for that! But greatness is a gift that not every writer can carry in a noble fashion!
  I've started this week's EV and Chalicea looks gentler than many other EV, but I've had to ask for help with a few on another thread. The end game promises to be quite interesting.
