My Other Life
In the Washington Post Book World, Sven Birkerts called this exuberant novel "a complex and gripping work of invention and confession ... I understood again how the prose of a true writer can bring us to a world beyond." The book spans almost thirty years in the life of a fictional "Paul Theroux," who moves through young bachelorhood in Africa, in and out of marriage, affairs, and employment, and between continents. It's a wry, worldly, erotic, and deeply moving account of one man's first half century — "among the strongest things Theroux has ever written" (New York Times Book Review).
