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).
Review:
"The dope farm teaches him the merits of hard work as an end in itself--and it also makes him realize he wants something else from life than the money he'd craved at the start of the novel...lusty in every sense of the word, healthy, invigorating, and strong."
Michael Gorra, New York Times Book Review, 07/01/1984
Review:"The hippie kingdom has been succeeded by...hard times, and T. Coraghassan Boyle has written a shrewd and funny novel about the rites of historical passage."
Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times Book Review, 05/06/1984
