About this listen

Award-winning writer Paul Theroux tells four exhilarating stories of desire in which nothing is as it seems in The Stranger at the Palazzo d'Oro.

A young American walks into Sicily's Palazzo d'Oro during the '60s. Penniless, but swaggering with youth and burgeoning artistic talent, he accepts a proposition to become the companion to a beautiful and beguiling aristocrat. Their affair—formal and restrained by day, torrid and passionate by night—leads him to a place where nothing, not even his lover, is what it seems. This novella and three other tales explore the underbelly of sexual desire and together make up one of Paul Theroux's most compelling works yet.

Sometimes tough to listen to but always so well written. You have to hang in there for the resolutions.

Oh wow

The halting style of narration detracted from my enjoyment. Theroux is a master storyteller, and his use of language is simply a joy to read.

Theroux storytelling never disappoints.
