Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 617 KB
Overview: National Book Award finalist, 1973
Alexander Theroux is a novelist, poet, and essayist. The most apt description of the novels of Theroux was given by Anthony Burgess in praise of Theroux’s Darconville’s Cat: Theroux is ‘word drunk’, filling his novels with a torrent of words archaic and neologic, always striving for originality, while drawing from the traditions of Rolfe, Rabelais, Sterne, and Nabokov.
Three Wogs is composed as a triptych, displaying three extravagantly archetypal Londoners, each of whom undergoes a fateful encounter with his own particular ‘wog’.
‘Wogs’ is the disdainful British term for ‘foreigners.’ This novel is concerned with prejudices, cultural barriers, and language itself. In Theroux Metaphrastes, an Afterword specially written for the paperback edition, Alexander Theroux launches a spirited, witty defense of his literary style and his approach to fiction.
