...PLAYING IT COOL...
...Transporter. His job is simple: move precious cargo from one place to another. As such, he has three rules: never change the deal, no names, and never open the package. Inevitably, these principles attract a villain who uses the Transporter for a deal leading to lots of cool car chases. This provides the premise for a stilted kind of inner conflict as Martin must decide whether to follow his rules or his heart.

Excavating Pat's diary and the writer's own journal and talking to more than a hundred people on several continents, French grippingly develops an account of the writer's life as cool and undeluded as Naipaul's former friend Paul Theroux's was rivetingly emotional.

Their discussion is usually centered on the same thing: some girl named Janie. Or Jamie? Jenny? Either way, they’ve mentioned that she’s got an incredible...
