THEROUX THE KEYHOLE
"Like millions of others, Louis's plans were mothballed by the onset of COVID. Unable to escape to the porn sets, prisons and maximum-security psychiatric units that are his usual journalistic beat, he began reporting on a location even more full of pitfalls and hostile objects of inquiry: his own home during a pandemic. This book is a diary of the weirdness of family life in Covid World. A wife intolerant of his obsession with Joe Wick's daily workouts. Two teenage sons, inseparable from their video games, to whom he is increasingly 'cringe'. A five-year-old happily spamming out videos on his own new TikTok account while on holiday with his oblivious family. Louis also describes launching Grounded, finally gets to the US to film a new Joe Exotic documentary and aims his sighs on the latest incarnation of the far right in a world becoming radicalized by social media. Theroux the keyhole is Louis at his insightful best, as he faces unforseen new challenges and wonders why it took a pandemic for him to learn that what really matters in life is right in front of him"--Publisher's description
