""Theroux is a master of the short story. The form is perfectly suited to Theroux's skills; the journalist's eye for detail and the novelist's sense of drama are enhanced by his gifts as a pure storyteller....Theroux's stories recall those of de Maupassant or O. Henry, complete with a twist ending. Each bears Theroux's unmistakable adventurous curiosity and philosophical musings."" - Booklist (starred review)
