He recounts nervously accepting the BBC's offer of his own series, and how that led to an award-winning documentary style that saw him immersed in the worlds of paranoid US militias, secretive pro-wrestlers, and San Quentin's gang culture, while getting under the skin of celebrities along the way. It's a soul-searching look at whether his instincts for great documentaries also make life harder to navigate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Call of the Weird\u003c\/em\u003e is Theroux's first book, written after a decade of making documentaries about offbeat characters on the fringes of American society. Rather than filming with a crew, Louis returns alone to track down the dreamers, outlaws, and eccentrics who fascinated him most first time round — from porn sets in Los Angeles to a gathering of neo-Nazis in Idaho — asking what their strange beliefs reveal about human nature, and about himself. Together, these two books offer the full arc of Theroux's career: the reflective memoir and the restless, curious travelogue that started it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo complete Louis Theroux paperbacks in one great-value set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes his Sunday Times bestselling memoir and his acclaimed debut travelogue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new condition, ideal for gifting or building a non-fiction collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunny, candid, and thought-provoking writing from a beloved documentary maker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of documentary, journalism, and character-driven non-fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast, free UK delivery from LetsBuyBooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLouis Theroux is a British-American documentarian, journalist, broadcaster, and author, renowned for his immersive, off-beat documentary style exploring subcultures and public figures on the fringes of mainstream life.

Written during the Covid-19 lockdowns, it turns his famous investigative eye away from prisons, cults and subcultures and onto his own household. Funny, candid and unexpectedly moving, this memoir-style diary is perfect for fans of Theroux's television work, readers of contemporary memoir, and anyone who lived through the strange domestic realities of lockdown life. A great gift for nonfiction lovers, documentary fans, or anyone who enjoys sharp, self-deprecating British humour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLouis Theroux built his career filming inside porn sets, high-security psychiatric units and prisons, but when the pandemic hit, his \"usual journalistic feeding ground\" was suddenly off-limits. Instead, he found himself confined to his own house, reporting instead on his wife, his two teenage sons, and his five-year-old, in an environment just as chaotic and unpredictable as any of his documentary subjects. The result is a wry, warm and often laugh-out-loud diary charting the small absurdities of pandemic family life: a wife unimpressed by his devotion to Joe Wicks' workouts, teenagers who find him thoroughly \"cringe,\" and a young child gleefully broadcasting the family's every move on TikTok. Beyond the domestic comedy, Theroux also reflects on launching his Grounded podcast, travelling to film a new documentary, and grappling with the rise of online radicalisation — bringing his trademark curiosity to bear even from behind his own front door. Told with the same disarming honesty and gentle wit that has defined his television career, Theroux The Keyhole captures a very particular moment in recent history with warmth, humour and real heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by one of Britain's best-loved documentary makers and bestselling authors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunny, candid diary format that's easy to dip in and out of.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptures a unique, shared moment in recent history — the Covid-19 lockdowns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new hardback edition, ideal for gifting or collecting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of memoir, documentary journalism and dry British humour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLouis Theroux is a British-American documentary maker, journalist, broadcaster and author, celebrated for his BBC series exploring subcultures, crime and extreme beliefs.
