STRANGER AT THE PALAZZO D'ORO and Other Stories, by Paul Theroux

Adoro essas edições da Penguin americana de papel leve e amarelado! :D
Confessso que é um Theroux médio, já li melhores, por exemplo:
- o Iron Rooster (http://bit.ly/2bimg3W)
- o Bazaar Ferroviário (http://bit.ly/1T8DZsR)
- o Trem Fantasma (http://bit.ly/2beBkNQ)
- e A Mão Morta (http://bit.ly/2bALkUP)

Mas o bom é que o tema é sempre viagens, dessa vez em quatro contos.
