From the bestselling novelist, travel writer, and master of the short story (NPR) comes a brilliant new short story collection.
The stories in Paul Theroux's fascinating new collection are both exotic and domestic, their settings ranging from Hawaii to Africa and New England. Each focuses on life's vanishing points--a moment when seemingly all lines running through one's life converge, and one can see no farther, yet must deal with the implications. With the insight, subtlety, and empathy that has long characterized his work, Theroux has written deeply moving, character-driven stories about memory, longing, and the passing of time, reclaiming his status, once again, as a master of the form.
