A writer's epic account of another life, of other choices - of turning fact into extraordinary fiction . . .

The fictional narrator of these memoirs, a man of many different guises, has reconstructed his past, giving it wit and life, tragedy and pathos, and imposed an order on it through careful editing. Life, it seems, has no apparent plot and so it can seem messier than fiction; sometimes it seems as if our hero is leading many different, separate lives . . .

'A memoir; a collection of short stories; an assemblage of fables; an anthology of Theroux- a book in which he is everywhere present, as himself and as someone other . . . Endlessly inventive, beguiling, provocative and insidiously readable'
