Brilliantly written, erotically
charged, My Secret History is Paul Theroux's tour de force. It
is the story of Andre Parent, a writer, a world traveler, a lover of
every kind of woman he chances to meet in a life as varied as a man
can lead.
It begins with his days as a
Massachusetts altar boy, when his first furtive sexual encounter
introduces him to the thrills of leading a double life. As a teenaged
lifeguard, Andre finds himself caught between the attentions of a
beautiful young student and an amorous older woman. Soon he is in
Africa, where the local women are numerous, easy and free. And as the
boy becomes a man he turns his attention to writing, which brings him
fame, and a wife, who may finally cause him to know himself.
But not before he sets up his most
dangerous secret life, one that any man might envy, but that could
cost Andre Parent the delicate balance that makes him who he is. |
