LOUIS THEROUX

This could be a better picture but i stole it from google!

This book by Louis Theroux is an adaption of a seriers that he makes for the BBC here in the UK. He revisits his subjects from the tv series to see where they are at. the book does give enough info about the people as at the time i had not seen the series, but since have.

He travels across the USA interview people from subcultures there. Unfortunatley his book does not accuratley show his skills that makes him so enjoyable to watch. His method of interviewing these people is rather unique. As a person he always appears somewhat awkward to me, almost a little naive but personally i cant help but feel he is putting on an act. However he manages to keep his subjects aloof of this. Is also could be the shock of the lives of the people he is interview that does this. In the book his subjects are somewhat interesting he interviews, such as a pornstay, motivatinal speaker, prostitute and a 'preen' racial hate folk band just to name a few!
