Drawing together a fascinating body of writing from over 14 years
of work, Figures in a Landscape ranges from profiles of cultural
icons (Oliver Sacks, Elizabeth Taylor, Robin Williams) to intimate
personal remembrances; from thrilling adventures in Africa to
literary writings from Theroux's rich and expansive personal
reading. Collectively these pieces offer a fascinating portrait of
the author himself, his extraordinary life, restless and
ever-curious mind. Figures in a Landscape is an essential addition
to the wide-ranging Theroux canon, bound together by an extended
mediation on the craft of writing itself, and driven by Theroux's
constant quest for the authentic in a person or in a place.
