'A shimmering, kaleidoscopic and very entertaining collection'

Sunday Telegraph

'No one ever sees me write. One of the triumphs of fiction is that it is created in the dark. It leaves my house in a plain wrapper, with no bloodstains. Unlike me, my stories are whole and indestructible.'

Theroux's canvas stretches from London to South-East Asia, from Boston to Paris, from Africa to Eastern Europe and from Moscow to the tropics in this vibrant collection. Full of suspense and the unexpected, the stories delve into the worlds of a vast spectrum of characters and display throughout a flair that shows Theroux to be a master of the form.
