一九四一年出生於美國麻州美德福(Medford),大學畢業後不久即加入和平工作團,前往馬拉威一所叢林學校及烏干達的馬克瑞雷(Makerere)大學擔任教職,在非洲生活了五年,同時也展開了源源不絕的創作。一九六八年,索魯轉往新加坡大學任教,三年後偕同妻小遷至英國的多塞特(Dorset),不久再遷往倫敦,十七年後又回到美國,此後輪流居住於英、美兩地。由於酷愛旅行,除了小說及文學評論外,索魯也出版了許多傑出的旅行文學著作,《大洋洲的逍遙列島》即是代表作品之一。隻身前往大洋洲的索魯,出發前正逢婚姻瓶頸,健康似乎也出了問題,在這趟漫長而孤獨的旅程中,他以敏銳的雙眼與犀利的文字,記錄了自己的心情,同時也為大洋洲留下了深刻而獨特的描述。
