Title: Strange and not entirely pleasant
Review: This was my first time reading Paul Theroux and I must say I'm not impressed. The writing seemed gratuitously pretentious and the woman characters were (in my opinion) poorly sculpted. I must admit, I had to put the book down after the author described the main character watching an older woman pee gleefully "like a little girl" and become turned on by being flecked with her piss remnants, so my review may be half-baked. From what I took from the book, the writing was mostly fluff with little story. In "The Stranger at the Palazzo d'Oro" The author focuses heavily on the main character's thoughts and seems to describe them over and over again throughout the course of the narrative. I honestly felt like I was reading the author's strange, convoluted sex fantasies rather than about characters with any substance. Perhaps I'm just not the right kind of audience for this kind of writing.
