 | My Other Life by Paul Theroux
Theroux's novel is a parade of episodes, some imaginary and some from Theroux's own life, but all ascribed to a fictional protagonist called Paul Theroux. Theroux covers his early education by his eccentric Uncle Hal, an unlikely author and lover of dog biscuits. He also delves into his tutelage by the rapacious Lady Max in London, who abandons him for another young protege. Theroux's stories are largely comprised of the many false names, occupations, and identities that Paul Theroux has taken on: there is Pavel Medved; Paulie, an even more famous Paul Theroux; and an elderly German writer whose life has almost exactly mirrored his own. AUTHOR: Paul Theroux
