The purpose of this paper is to examine the identity of Diaspora literature by way of the works of V. S. Naipaul and Gao Xing Jian. Both V. S. Naipaul and Gao Xing Jianare all, so-called, wanderers, not rooted in one culture and/or in one country. However, in terms of diaspora literature, their identities and writings are much different from each other. In the case of Gao Xing Jian, he is an exile who is self-imposed to absorb in writing freely out of the repressed political realities. He insists that any good writing should express the inner voices, totally free form any ideologies of politics and social practices. In a word, his writing can be said to be “the writing having no ideology.” In addition, with ‘distancing’ he can see his mother-country with objectivity. And with that objectivity, he can look from the outside into the inside and create his own insight on the national culture. On the other hand, V. S. Naipaul, the third generation of immigrant, is an exile forced by the colonial situation. Regardless of his own will, he is expelled into strange land and can not take root in any places. As he can not feel at home in any places in India, Trinidard, nor UK, his works show clearly his desperate efforts to search for a stable place to root in. The similarities and differences of the insight and viewpoint by these two wandering writers will be a good basis to speculate on the diversity and direction of the next century diaspora literature.
