‘Written with a rare intensity of both intelligence and feeling
… a superbly realistic evocation of the journeys (both dark and comical) of the human heart’
Salman Rushdie, Observer
‘Nothing on the shelf has quite prepared the reader for My Secret History
… Parent saunters into the book aged fifteen, shouldering a .22 Mossberg rifle as earlier, more innocent American heroes used to tote a fishing pole. In his pocket is a paperback translation of Dante’s Inferno
… He is a creature of naked and unquenchable ego, greedy for sex, money, experience, another life’
Jonathan Raban, Observer
‘Theroux’s best creation, a character who is honest enough to know that he wants it both ways- to be the lover and also the solitary observer who betrays his loves by turning them into stories’
Time
‘Theroux’s best fiction to date
… combines the surfaces of memoir and travelogue with cunning fiction’
Sunday Times
‘Sharp, exact, very evocative
… both disturbing and entertaining’
Anthony Burgess, Independent
