Obsessed from his youth with the pleasures of a double life: one public, proper & successful, the other secret, dangerous & decadent; a successful writer & world traveler meets and marries the woman that causes him to truly examine himself and his motivations. But now he must confront the problem of ending his secret life without destroying his public one. Theroux confronts the foolishness of men and celebrates the wisdom of women.
