Louis Theroux is apparently a big deal in England, where he’s known as “the king of off-beat documentaries.†THE CALL OF THE WEIRD is Theroux’s (son of author Paul) revisiting of some of his more interesting profiles. One does not need to have seen the original episodes (though they are on a certain streaming service) to enjoy the essays – Theroux provides a generous amount of back story. Profiles include UFO theorists, Nevada brothel workers, white supremacists, porn actor JJ Michaels and even Ike Turner. An Englishmen looking at the extremes of the American population is not new, and Theroux is more curious than condemning, which makes for a fun, informative read.
As a die-hard Louis Theroux fan, I have seen all of his documentaries. However, it was really interesting to read this book and get some behind-the-scenes looks at his time with his interview subjects, and more details in the interactions they had off camera. Very insightful and a fun read.
I purchased this book because I really enjoy Theroux's documentaries. I don't suggest purchasing this book unless you've watched the documentaries. Each chapter features a different documentary character, with only a little bit of context. The book basically describes what these people are doing several years after having been filmed. In some cases, I wish Theroux had delved deeper into their lives. I guess that's why he's a film maker and not a psychologist.
Even if you only have a passing interest in the Louis Theroux documentaries you will enjoy this book where Mr. Theroux follows up on some of his subjects from the "Weird Weekends" series on BBC 2. Essentially this book is about Louis trying to reconcile his feelings of just being "Documenter to his former subjects "Documentee" (Yes, I made up those words) and the fact whether he is, or even should be, friends with these people. I really identified with Mr. Theroux's need to be liked by his subjects and it's insightful as to how he works through these feelings with a Nazi, a prostitute, and others. A must read for die hard Theroux fans. And yes, I think Hayley wanted to date Louis...
If you have enjoyed any of Louis Theroux's "Weird Weekends" or other documentaries, this book will bring you back to the world of the unique and, well, weird, people he has visited in his shows. Theroux revisits nazis, gangster rappers, legal prostitutes, UFOlogists, and other fringe groups in the same humanizing but honest way he did on television. Somehow he has the ability to interview people whose core beliefs he disagrees with by stating his own point of view without offending them (usually) and delving into the person behind the beliefs.If you're unfamiliar with Theroux's film work, I'd recommend checking it out before reading this book. I'm sure the book can still be enjoyed without the background context, but it will be better understood if you have already met the subjects and, most importantly, Theroux.
I really enjoyed his documentaries, and I had gone on a Louis Theroux documentary binge over the last few months and watched the majority of them before buying this book, I love his approach of trying to humanise people with some beliefs or ideas that can be considered inhuman.The book is his journey to see what has happened to people in his documentaries a few years on, it seems to explore if the people have kept up with their beliefs, and if he can can get to know the more personal side of his interviewees off camera.There is a brief repetition of some of his documentaries in this book to give people who haven't seen the documentary context.Although you cannot see the entertaining facial expressions, tone and body language he uses in his documentaries, his writing has a beautiful flow and keeps you entertained throughout. A must read for any Louis Theroux fans.
As of today, April 1, 2007, this book is ranked over 100,000 at Amazon. Where are the readers? This is, so far, the best book I've read all year. Today is April 1, but I'm not joking.I read this book in one day, on a trip from Boston to Fairbanks, Alaska. This gave me the opportunity to literally take the book in as a whole. According to Theroux in the prologue, he covers four main sources of journalistic weirdness: sexual, racial, religious, and narcissistic. He interviews the types of poeple that most would consider "weird." But for Theroux, the host of a popular British TV show, his motivation is different than the typical Jerry Springer variety. The interviewees and their entourage take a back stage to the way Theroux interacts with everyone and everything. Sometimes we detect empathy. Somethines we detect mild scorn. Always, Theroux humanizes his subjects while he exposes them. The methods are always subtle.Theroux's writing style is clean, crisp, using the right adjective or adverb when necessary. His quotes really bring his interviewees to life: Theroux is not afraid to keep local dialects or cultural or socio-economic related slang. The prose is polished.This is an excellent work of journalism, matching the quality of Gay Talese, Michael Lewis, or Malcolm Gladwell. It's too bad that this book isn't noticed more in the U.S. This book is as much a work of journalism as it is a work of psychology or sociology. There is work in them thar pages -- despite the crude subject matter, this is no fly-by-night piece of hack writing. Theroux asks the correct questions. He mixes a sophisticated sense or ironic humor with brief interludes of philosophic discourse, always reporting the facts without letting his personal opinions get in the way. (He does give his opinions, but they do not bias the text.) He commands a sophisticated vocabulary, maintaining a mature, elegant prose. His self-effacing writing style is fair to the reader.The most important conclusion of this book is taken from Theroux's Epilogue: "'Have you ever argued with a member of the Flat Earth Society?' a self-help guru named Ross Jeffries once asked me. 'It's completely futile, because fundamentally they don't care if something is true or false. To them, the measure of truth is how important it makes them feel. If telling the truth makes them feel important, then it's true. If telling the truth makes them feel ashamed and small, then it's false.' My experience on my trip has borne this out. On the list of qualities necessary to humans trying to make out way through life, truth scores fairly low...in the end, feeling alive is more important than telling the truth....We are instruments for feeling, faith, energy, emotion, significance, belief, but not really truth."This last pragraph, my fellow readers, sums up Theroux's great book."
