THE VANISHING POINT Stories

by | Read by Joe Knezevich

Fiction • 13.75 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2025

The vanishing point in a work of art is the point where receding parallel lines seem to meet. In this audiobook, author Paul Theroux uses this concept in his collection of 18 short stories, each involving a critical moment when life patterns come together. The stories are about men in different countries and in different stages of life. Narrator Joe Knezevich's deep, resonant voice is a perfect match for these characters. He expertly animates men as diverse as an unhappy Boy Scout, a giddy transgender student, and an angry, aging monseigneur. Theroux is a literary craftsman, but some listeners may find his topics lacking contemporary edginess. Most listeners will welcome his tempered wisdom and cultivated perspective.
