Paul Theroux's Figures In A Landscape (2018) is his third collection of nonfiction pieces. There are a variety of pieces ranging from celebrity profiles (Elizabeth Taylor, Olive Sacks, and Robin Williams) to essays on travel and literary essays-including introduction to books by the likes of Joseph Conrad, Paul Bowles, Graham Greene, and Georges Simeone. Those were among my favorites but there were plenty of others that gave insight the author who wrote about his family, life, and attitude to biographies. All in all very insightful and entertaining.
