Merges the two genres he's famous for... My secret history is about the permanence of marriage in the face of mistrust and infidelity; it's about the wisdom of women and the foolishness of men; and it's about mature love as the necessary and sometimes successful antidote to youthful selfishness. -- the New York Times Book Review Consistently entertaining... Theroux's hero is a man of ironic intelligence and amusing self-awareness. -- Time
