Description
Saint Jack is a strikingly honest novel by Paul Theroux that explores the darker underside of expatriate life in South-East Asia. The story follows Jack Flowers, a water-clerk who moonlights as a blackmailer for a sinister American, as he navigates the seedy world of tourists and locals alike. Theroux's prose is rich and perceptive, drawing us into a world that extends far beyond its physical limits. With his characteristic sense of irony, he crafts a memorable rogue whose confessions are both outrageous and unforgettable. A witty and subtle self-portrait of a memorable rogue, Saint Jack is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that delves into the complexities of human nature.
