One of the more bewildering aspects of growing older,” Paul Theroux writes in one of the articles in this collection “is that people constantly remind you of things that never happened.” Theroux is approaching 60. The acclaimed travel writer has been all over the world, and this assortment offers his views of life in his travels. The book jumps from post-Mao China and Theroux’s years spent as a Peace Corps volunteer in Africa in the ’60s to turtle watching in Hawaii to kayaking on Cape Cod.
