My Other Life（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　In the Washington Post Book World, Sven Birkerts called this
exuberant novel “a complex and gripping work of invention and
confession . . . I understood again how the prose of a true writer
can bring us to a world beyond.” The book spans almost thirty years
in the life of a fictional “Paul Theroux,” who moves through young
bachelorhood in Africa, in and out of marriage, affairs, and
employment, and between continents. It’s a wry, worldly, erotic,
and deeply moving account of one man’s first half century – “among
the strongest things Theroux has ever written” (New York Times Book
Review).

　　Paul Theroux was born in Medford, Massachusetts in 1941 and
published his first novel, Waldo in 1967. His subsequent novels
include “The Family Arsenal”, “Picture Palace”, “The Mosquito
Coast”,” O-Zone”, “Millroy the Magician”, “My Secret History”, “My
Other Life”, and “Kowloon Tong”. His highly acclaimed travel books
include “Riding the Iron Rooster”, “The Great Railway Bazaar”, “The
Old Patagonian Express”, and “Fresh Air Fiend”. “The Mosquito
Coast” and “Dr. Slaughter” have both been made into successful
films. He was the guest editor of The Best American Travel Writing
(Houghton Mifflin, October 2001). Theroux is a frequent contributer
to magazines including Talk and Men’s Journal. He divides his time
between Cape Cod and the Hawaiian Islands, where he is a
professional beekeeper.
