Paul Theroux, the master teller of tales, presents twenty new, delicious and disturbing stories. In Minor Watt, a famous art collector publicly destroys his most valuable works, enjoying the feeling of power it gives him - until he meets his match. In Our Raccoon Year a divorced father wages war on the animals which invade his property after his wife leaves. Richly imaginative, often sharp as a knife, these stories will entertain as much as they unsettle. Enjoy!
