From the bestselling novelist, travel writer, and âmaster of the short storyâ (NPR) comes a brilliant new collection. The stories in The Vanishing Point are both exotic and domestic, their settings ranging from Hawaii to Africa and New England. Each focuses on lifeâs vanishing pointsâ"a moment when seemingly all lines running through oneâs life converge, and one can see no farther, yet must deal with the implications. With the insight, subtlety, and empathy that has long characterized his work, Theroux has written deeply moving stories about memory, longing, and the passing of time, reclaiming his status, once again, as a master of the form. âThe most gifted, most prodigal writer of his generationâ Jonathan RabanâThe most exciting contemporary practitioner of a literary tradition honed to elegantly crafted terseness by Somerset Maugham and Graham Greene. A terrific teller of tales and conjurer of exotic localesâ Sunday Times
