"From the bestselling novelist, travel writer, and "master of the short story" (NPR) comes a brilliant new collection"-- - Baker & Taylor
A collection of stories set in diverse locations, from Hawaii to Africa and New England, explores pivotal moments in life where paths converge, delving into themes of memory, longing, and the passage of time, showcasing the authorâs trademark insight and empathy. - HARPERCOLL
From the bestselling novelist, travel writer, and âmaster of the short storyâ (NPR) comes a brilliant new collection.
The stories in Paul Therouxâs fascinating new collection are both exotic and domestic, their settings ranging from Hawaii to Africa and New England. Each focuses on lifeâs vanishing pointsâa moment when seemingly all lines running through oneâs 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 stories about memory, longing, and the passing of time, reclaiming his status, once again, as a master of the form.
