Gabi's Review

Called the Frank Zappa of American letters TC Boyles collection of short stories are off-beat, breezy, frequently funny and very well written. From a nightmarish covid contagion aboard a once in a lifetime honeymoon cruise to a couples nature therapy session ending in a twisted comic irony they are all very original, diverse and immensely competent. I cant recommend these highly enough.

 

Publishers Reviews

A joyful, freewheeling, funny and profound new collection from 'one of the most inventive, adventurous and accomplished fiction writers in the US today' (Lionel Shriver)
For one woman, a cross-country train ride becomes a parallel journey into the dark psyche of American manhood. An old man and his neighbour enter strike up a friendship that might a more sinister battle of wits than he first thinks. A man, waiting for his wife in a bar on Valentine's Day, is plagued by a stranger who claims to be clairvoyant.
In electric prose T. C. Boyle explores myriad facets of society- greed and excess, parenthood and responsibility, the digital world and the way we understand our mortality. Roaming unrestrainedly through the present and near future, he inhabits his characters' minds with a ventriloquist's flair, skewering human motivations and revealing us to ourselves with empathy and wry humour.
