V S —, winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Literature (7)
I believe the answer is:
naipaul
(Other definitions for naipaul that I've seen before include "Sir V. S. -, Br. author" , "V. S. -, two thousand and one Nobel Prize author" , "Author of In a Free State" , "Sir V.S. --, author" , "V. S. - , novelist (A House for Mr Biswas)" .)
