The vanishing point : stories / Paul Theroux.
"The stories in Paul Theroux's fascinating new collection are both exotic and domestic, both humorous and poignant, their settings ranging from Hawaii to Africa to New England. Each focuses on life's vanishing points -- a moment when seemingly all lines running through one's 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 an undisputed master of the form." -- Provided by dustjacket.
