Publisher Description

At the Hemisphere Institute she was called Mopsy. At the Jasmine Escort Agency, and to most of the men they sent her to, she was Dr. Lauren Slaughter. She found the work similar in many respects; and when people (day or night) asked her what she did the rest of the time, she said simply, "Research."

"Read this long ago, but it has stayed with me like a really good meal eaten outdoors in a foreign city, by water, lanterns swaying, and flirting with a near stranger. Sexy, exotic, intriguing. Greenian, but lacks the bottom note of Greene. Oh well. A great read."

    " Good Paul Theroux. I like the combination of two stories about double lives "

    " Paul Theroux is one of my favorite authors, but this book was confusing. I hadn't realized it was two short stories and when it crossed over in the middle I couldn't figure out what was going on or what happened to the heroine. "

    " Fun reading, fascinating worldly characters, very colorful and you get a good sense of secret lives in London and other places abroad. These are two shorter pieces published together. "

    " I bought this because of the movie where Sigourney Weaver played a crazy hooker. Probably not the best introduction to Theroux. "

    " First fictional work by him that I've read. I was intrigued and pleased enough by his writing to try some other novels. These were tightly drawn thriller-type work, which I generally don't appreciate so the fact that I liked them -- the Dr. Slaughter story better and the Dr. Demere one -- is a plus. "

    " The second story's a bust, but "Dr. Slaughter" is twisted in all the right ways. You'll want to take a shower after reading it. Made into a strangely inert movie version starring Sigourney Weaver. "

    " Read this book to try and figure out why Sigorney Weaver would want to play the role of the main character. The novella was better than the play, but I still do not understand why Weaver took the part. "
