Rent My Other Life

Synopsis

In the Washington Post Book World, Sven Birkerts called this exuberant novel 'a complex and gripping work of invention and confession . . . I understood again how the prose of a true writer can bring us to a world beyond.' The book spans almost thirty years in the life of a fictional 'Paul Theroux,' who moves through young bachelorhood in Africa, in and out of marriage, affairs, and employment, and between continents. IIt's a wry, worldly, erotic, and deeply moving account of one man's first half century - 'among the strongest things Theroux has ever written' (New York Times Book Review).
