I haven't read either, sad to say.

I do know that V.S. Naipaul's Miguel Street is based on his childhood experiences living on Luis Street in Port of Spain, and A House for Mister Biswas is based on his father's life (the former comes from Patrick French's marvellous biography, the latter has been well-known for many years).
