Please go to Paul Theroux.com's new site, Paul TherouxFree Computer Help Forum Spanning almost
thirty years, My Other Life traces the journey of a fictional
Paul Theroux from young bachelorhood in Africa, in and out of
marriage, affairs, and employment, and between continents. From his
early education at the knee of a highly eccentric uncle through his
years as a fledgling novelist in London under the wing of the
rapacious Lady Max, this writer of different guises eventually returns
alone, in retreat, to his hometown, where he finds the raw material to
begin again. This is a wry, worldly, erotic, and deeply moving
account of one man's first half century and is "among the strongest
things Theroux has ever written." |
