Paul Theroux is one of seven children. He was raised in Massachusetts and in the early sixties, he joined the Peace Corps. Theroux is a prolific writer and has authored over forty books and has published articles and short stories in a variety of newspapers and magazines. He has traveled throughout the world and has a tremendous reputation as a travel writer recounting his travels with humor and intelligence. Theroux divides his time between London and Cape Cod. His novels include Chicago Loop and Mosquito Coast and travel books such as The Old Patagonian Express. In Sunset with Seamonsters, he has taken a look at the countries and cultures that ring the Mediterranean, from Gibraltar through the Balkans and back to Tangier, including conversations with American expatriate author Paul Bowles and Naguib Mafouz. His itinerary is never known to him, and his picture of the world is not one of plush resorts, slaphappy tourists, and ancient ruins in the tradition of the Grand Tour, but rather of life at street level.
