Description
Book SynopsisA traveller falls ill in a poor country and plummets into a feverish self-examination.
But something''s been hidden from me, too. Something - a part of myself - has been hidden from me, and I think it''s the part that''s there on the surface, what anyone in the world could see about me if they saw out the window of a passing train. The incredible history of my feelings and my thoughts could fill up a dozen leather-bound books. But the story of my life - my behaviour, my actions - now that''s a slim little paperback, and I''ve never read it.
