Random House Inc. 06/01/1973. 467 pgs. Edouard Molinier is a writer working on a novel called THE COUNTERFEITERS. In it, a brash young man named Bernard becomes Edouard's secretary. During the course of the book, Bernard and his friend Olivier, pals from college, undergo a psychosexual education: Olivier emerges as a homosexual, and Bernard as a primarily gay man who idolizes women but cannot become involved with them. Unlike Gide's other novels, THE COUNTERFEITERS is not a récit but a work that he actually called a novel, and it is widely considered to be his masterpiece. It was inspired by a newspaper story about a ring of counterfeiters that included several children. Originally published at $12.95 You save 92% off the cover price!

Houghton Mifflin. 09/15/1997. Theroux's novel is a parade of episodes, some imaginary and some from Theroux's own life, but all ascribed to a fictional protagonist called "Paul Theroux." Theroux covers his early education by his eccentric Uncle Hal, an unlikely author and lover of dog biscuits. He also delves into his tutelage by the rapacious Lady Max in London, who abandons him for another young protégé. Theroux's stories are largely comprised of the many false names, occupations, and identities that "Paul Theroux" has taken on: there is Pavel Medved; Paulie, an even more famous Paul Theroux; and an elderly German writer whose life has almost exactly mirrored his own.
