Figures in a Landscape: People and Places

Paul Theroux

Classic essays and writings from the acclaimed travel writer collected for the first time

Drawing together classic Theroux pieces from the past 14 years, this new collection offers a comprehensive and deeply searching portrait of its acclaimed author - a kind of autobiography through work.

Figures in a Landscape ranges from profiles of cultural icons (Oliver Sacks, Elizabeth Taylor, Robin Williams) to intimate personal remembrances; from thrilling adventures in Africa to literary writings from Theroux’s rich and expansive personal reading. Collectively these pieces build up a fascinating portrait of Paul Theroux’s restless, ever-curious mind.
