Paul Theroux’s shorter fiction includes nine works published between 1969 and 2019. These range from the early Murder in Mount Holly (1969) to novellas like Doctor Slaughter and Dr. Demarr. The shorter format lets Theroux experiment with tone and subject more freely than in his novels.
Camp Echo (2019) is his most recent novella. The collection shows a writer comfortable at any length, whether crafting a tight thriller or a character study.
