OverviewA writer's epic account of another life, of other choices - of turning fact into extraordinary fiction . . . The fictional narrator of these memoirs, a man of many different guises, has reconstructed his past, giving it wit and life, tragedy and pathos, and imposed an order on it through careful editing. Life, it seems, has no apparent plot and so it can seem messier than fiction; sometimes it seems as if our hero is leading many different, separate lives . . . 'A memoir; a collection of short stories; an assemblage of fables; an anthology of Theroux- a book in which he is everywhere present, as himself and as someone other . . . Endlessly inventive, beguiling, provocative and insidiously readable' Sunday Telegraph Full Product DetailsAuthor: Paul TherouxPublisher: Penguin Books Ltd Imprint: Penguin Books Ltd Dimensions: Width: 12.90cm , Height: 3.00cm , Length: 19.80cm Weight: 0.351kg ISBN: 9780241950517ISBN 10: 0241950511 Pages: 512 Publication Date: 03 February 2011 Recommended Age: From 0 years Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Manufactured on demand  We will order this item for you from a manufactured on demand supplier.
