"DAZZLING."--Time"[THEROUX'S] WORK IS DISTINGUISHED by A SPLENDID EYE FOR DETAIL AND THE TELLING GESTURE; a storyteller's sense of pacing and gift for granting closure to the most subtle progression of events; and the graceful use of language.... We are delighted, along with Theroux, aby the politeness of the Turks, amazed by the mountainous highlands in Syria, touched aby the gesture of an Albanian waitress who will not let him pay for his modest meal.... The Pillars of Hercules [is] engrossing and enlightening from start (a damning account of tourists annoying the apes of Gibraltar) to finish (an utterly captivating visit with Paul Bowles in Tangier, worth the price of the book all aby itself)."--Chicago Tribune"ENTERTAINING READING... WHEN YOU READ THEROUX, YOU'RE TRULY ON A TRIP."--The Boston Sunday Globe"HIS PICARESQUE NARRATIVE IS STUDDED WITH SCENES THAT STICK IN THE MIND.
