Recensione
This vast volume contains some of the best, funniest, bleakest, most unsettling short stories I've ever read ... Incredibly good - a book to savour (The Times)
Complicated characters, like twists, are among the orthodox pleasures on offer here ... You don't feel cheated, reading Boyle - while the head knows there's manipulation and artifice, the heart thumps (Observer)
An important book that contains revelation, tension and beauty (Philip Womack Daily Telegraph)
Boyle has a talent for describing events we may never experience with an arresting matter-of-factness. There is a thrill to this, and to not knowing where he will take us next (Chris Power Guardian)
A sort of Frank Zappa of American letters . Like the Beat writers before him, Boyle documents American life in the underbelly . Boyle is incapable of writing a boring sentence ... he is a master of the short story form (Ian Thomson Financial Times)
The master of edgy short fiction (William Leith, Evening Standard)
Descrizione del libro
The second volume of collected short fiction from American master T.C. Boyle, including his previous three collections and fourteen new stories
