Paul Theroux's latest collection applies his signature curiosity to a life lived as much as in reading as on the road. In this writerly tour de force, travel essays take us to Ecuador, Zimbabwe, and Hawaii, to name a few. Gems of literary criticism reveal fascinating depth in the works of Thoreau, Muriel Spark, Hunter S. Thompson, and many others. And in a series of highly personal profiles, we take a helicopter ride with Elizabeth Taylor, go diagnosing with Oliver Sacks, eavesdrop on the day to day life of a Manhattan dominatrix, and explore New York with Robin Williams.
About the Author: Paul Theroux is the author of many highly acclaimed books. His novels include The Lower River and The Mosquito Coast, and his renowned travel books include Ghost Train to the Eastern Star and Dark Star Safari. He lives on Cape Cod and in Hawaii.
