«World's End and Other Stories» is Paul Theroux's collection of short stories, published by Penguin in 1982, in paperback (224 pages, in English).
The volume brings together short stories that address the consequences of a family move abroad, a young English woman's stay with a French family, and a biologist's coexistence with a compulsive liar. Theroux portrays these situations with irony and an incisive gaze on uprootedness.
The work was originally published in 1980; this Penguin edition is from 1982.
