Synopsis
Gathered into one volume, the first four short story collections of T.C. Boyle, winner of the 2015 Rea Award for the Short Story T. C. Boyle is one of the most inventive and wickedly funny short story writers at work today. Over the course of twenty-five years, Boyle has built up a body of short fiction that is remarkable in its range, richness, and exuberance. His stories have won accolades for their irony and black humor, for their verbal pyrotechnics, for their fascination with everything bizarre and queasy, and for the razor-sharp way in which they dissect America's obsession with image and materialism. Gathered together here are all of the stories that have appeared in his four previous collections, as well as seven that have never before appeared in book form. Together they comprise a book of small treasures, a definitive gift for Boyle fans and for every reader ready to discover the "ferocious, delicious imagination" ( Los Angeles Times Book Review ) of a "vibrant sensibility fully engaged with American society" ( The New York Times )., A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK - The first volume of collected short fiction from the award-winning author of The Tortilla Curtain, featuring sixty-eight "varied, clever, and delightful" ( The Chicago Tribune ) short stories, including seven never-before-published tales "Each [story hops] with manic energy . . . at his vaulting, imaginative best Boyle suggests the bastard child of Flannery O'Connor and Monty Python."-- The Miami Herald WINNER OF THE PEN/MALAMUD AWARD - FINALIST FOR THE PEN CENTER/USA WEST LITERARY AWARD By turns mythic and realistic, farcical and tragic, ironic and moving, T.C. Boyle's stories map a wide geography of human emotions. Whether he is writing about eccentrics, charlatans, or exotic seekers after the truth, or about decent vulnerable people trying to forge some kind of connection in an unfriendly world, the effect is always surprising and uniquely his own. Running throughout is Boyle's razor-sharp sense of humor, and his singular genius for dissecting America's obsession with image and materialism. Drawn from Descent of Man, Greasy Lake, If the River Was Whiskey, and Without a Hero alongside seven new tales, the sixty-eight stories in this volume are remarkable in their range, richness, and exuberance.
