Publisher Description
From the bestselling novelist, travel writer, and “master of the short story” (NPR) comes a brilliant new 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 stories about memory, longing, and the passing of time, reclaiming his status, once again, as a master of the form.

“The stories are about men in different countries and in different stages of life. Narrator Joe Knezevich’s deep, resonant voice is a perfect match for these characters. He expertly animates men as diverse as an unhappy Boy Scout, a giddy transgender student, and an angry, aging monseigneur.”
