Paul Theroux recommends
Still Born (2022)
Guadalupe Nettel
"I love the work of Guadalupe Nettel, one of Mexico's greatest living writers. Her fiction is brilliant and original, always suffused with sensuality and strange science."
The Bride of the Wilderness (1988)
(Paul Christopher, book 6)
Charles McCarry
"A vastly enjoyable novel. McCarry has the gift for making the distant past live."
