Summary
Come round to Louis Theroux’s house where the much-loved TV documentary-maker, podcaster and bestselling author of Gotta Get Theroux This finds himself in unexpected danger . . .
Like millions of others, Louis’ plans were mothballed by the onset of Covid. Unable to escape to the porn sets, prisons and maximum-security psychiatric units that are his usual journalistic beat, he began reporting on a location even more full of pitfalls and hostile objects of inquiry: his own home during a pandemic.
Theroux the Keyhole is an honest, hilarious and ultimately heartwarming diary of the weirdness of family life in Covid World. A wife intolerant of his obsession with Joe Wicks’ daily workouts. Two teenage sons, inseparable from their videogames, for whom he is increasingly 'cringe'. A five-year-old happily spamming out videos on his own new TikTok account while on holiday with his oblivious family.
Louis also describes how he launches his podcast, Grounded, finally gets to the US to film a new Joe Exotic documentary and aims his sights on the latest incarnation of the far right in a world becoming radicalized by social media. Theroux the Keyhole is Louis at his insightful best, as he faces unforeseen new challenges and wonders why it took a pandemic for him to learn that what really matters in life is right in front of him.
Read by Louis Theroux, in his usual witty style.
Critic reviews
Even against the horrific backdrop of Covid, [this] book is all the more charming, and blackly amusing, for it.
Witty, slightly nihilistic, strangely uplifting

loved it

I laughed, empathised and occasionally cringed 😀. It felt like such an honest share of his lockdown experiences. A ‘real’ family with many of the same issues, values, struggles and thoughts as the rest of it. I’m now going to read/listen/watch the rest of Louis work!!
Love love loved this!
