John Ralston Saul wants to make one thing very clear. I don’t like being lumped into that genre, Saul says. Hard-hitting, disconcerting, feverish and painful, The Paradise Eater takes John Field, an expat in Bangkok for more than two decades, through his last days there, pursued by killers for what he might know, determined to save two girls (one his daughter, the other a kind of slave he has bought) from the horrors which await them.
