Summary
In a complex and confessional tale, the author constructs his own fictional memoir, complete with the fake occupations of particle physicist, cartographer, and teacher. Read by David Dukes.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Best-selling writer Paul Theroux takes us on a journey over a career spanning 30 years. Complex, candid, and confessional, he reconstructs his fictitious past, giving it wit and life, tragedy and pathos. With enormous insight and self-knowledge Theroux divulges his belief in secrets: the fake occupations he has given himself - particle physicist, cartographer, teacher; the false names; and the absurd, synchronistic events of his life.
