Description
The Consul's File is a collection of short stories by Paul Theroux. All of the stories are set in post independence Malaysia, mostly in the small town of Ayer Hitam in Johor state and are narrated by the resident American Consul. Through his eyes the whole spectrum of life in 1960s Malaysia is brought to life with themes ranging from murder, political intrigue and adultery to ghosts, disappearances and simple character driven tales.
Description
In this 1978 compilation, Paul Theroux offers twenty stand-alone (and originally serialized) chapters told through the eyes of a young American consul posted to a small Malaysian town in the 1970s. The stories are chronological picking up when the narrator arrives in country and ending with a letter he writes as he departs. --Richard T at Amazon.com.
