THE PILLARS OF HERCULES

American novelist and travel writer Paul Theroux (SAINT JACK, RIDING THE IRON ROOSTER) takes us on a fascinating journey by rail around the Mediterranean in a modern re-creation of "The Grand Tour." To the long tradition of such fare, he contributes considerable descriptive power, strong characterizations, humor and informed humanity--all of which William Hootkins communicates in an expressive, listener-friendly voice. There is much to interest anyone who wishes to glean insights from a keen mind and stout heart. Y.R. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPT 97]
