The Collected Stories by Paul Theroux
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 773 kB
Overview: The more than sixty stories in this volume are funny and sardonic, sensuous and evocative, streaked with terror and cruelty. Richly varied in tone and subject — ghost story, murder mystery, sexual farce, political satire, culture-clash parable — all glow with Paul Theroux’s intelligence, elegance, and ironic wit; with his marvellous sense of place; with his ear for dialogue; and with his tragicomic vision.
