This literary volume presents two psychologically charged novellas by Paul Theroux—Doctor Slaughter and Doctor DeMarr—each examining the tension between public identity and private desire. Theroux instructs readers in the art of duplicity, detailing characters who navigate espionage, erotic entanglement, and moral ambiguity with calculated precision. Set against the backdrop of London’s academic and diplomatic circles, the narratives uncover the dangers of self-invention and the seductive pull of reinvention. The prose is taut and atmospheric, illustrating Theroux’s command of suspense and character study.
