Synopsis: A WRITER'S EPIC ACCOUNT OF ANOTHER LIFE, OF OTHER CHOICES - OF TURNING FACT INTO EXTRAORDINARY FICTION . . . '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' Sunday Telegraph 'Evocative, painstaking, comic, even tender, brilliant. Follows the outline of Theroux's life - teaching in Africa and Singapore, prosperity and marriage in rain-blackened London, catastrophe then flight to the Pacific's sunnier shores - each chapter is plotted as a dramatic confrontation' Guardian 'A great pleasure and a bit of a tease. Theroux is fluent, witty and almost faultlessly able to deliver a satisfying story' Melvyn Bragg, Literary Review
