Here in Theroux's short novels we encounter the full breadth of his fictional world: from a pair of post-adolescent malcontents hiding from their future to a vulnerable, ageing stripper and single mother who finds God; from a soulless American lawyer who forgoes US citizenship for the sake of profit to a beautiful young academic who works as a researcher by day and an escort by night; and from a motley band of criminals to a set of identical twins fated to orchestrate their own self-destruction. From London to Singapore to Massachusetts, Theroux's characters struggle with indeterminate, and often cruel, destinies. Spanning the whole of Theroux's career, this collection is compulsively readable.
