From the best-selling author of Dark Star Safari and Hotel
Honolulu, Paul Theroux''s latest offers provocative tales of memory
and desire. The sensual story of an unusual love affair leads the
collection. The thrill and risk of pursuit and conquest mark the
accompanying stories, which tell of the sexual awakening and rites
of passage of a Boston boyhood, the ruin of a writer in Africa, and
the bewitchment of a retiree in Hawaii. Filled with Theroux''s
typically exquisite yet devastating descriptions of people and
places, The Stranger at the Palazzo D''Oro evokes "the complexities
of matters of the heart with subtlety and grace" People.
