A second volume of short fiction—featuring fourteen uncollected stories—from the bestselling author and master of the form
Few authors write with such sheer love of story and language as T.C. Boyle， and that is nowhere more evident than in his inventive， wickedly funny， and always entertaining short stories. In 1998， T.C. Boyle Stories brought together the author’s first four collections to critical acclaim. Now， T.C. Boyle Stories II gathers the work from his three most recent collections along with fourteen new tales previously unpublished in book form as well as a preface in which Boyle looks back on his career as a writer of stories and the art of making them.
By turns mythic and realistic， farcical and tragic， ironic and moving， Boyle’s stories have mapped a wide range of human emotions. The fifty-eight stories in this new volume， written over the last eighteen years， reflect his maturing themes. Along with the satires and tall tales that established his reputation， readers will find stories speaking to contemporary social issues， from air rage to abortion doctors， and character-driven tales of quiet power and passion. Others capture timeless themes， from first love and its consequences to confrontations with mortality， or explore the conflict between civilization and wildness. The new stories find Boyle engagingly testing his characters’ emotional and physical endurance， whether it’s a group of giants being bred as weapons of war in a fictional Latin American country， a Russian woman who ignores dire warnings in returning to her radiation-contaminated home， a hermetic writer who gets more than a break in his routine when he travels to receive a minor award， or a man in a California mountain town who goes a little too far in his concern for a widow.
Mordant wit， emotional power， exquisite prose： it is all here in abundance. T.C. Boyle Stories II is a grand career statement from a writer whose imagination knows no bounds. T.C. Boyle is the author of fourteen novels, including Drop City, which was a finalist for the National Book Award, and World’s End, winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award. He has also written nine short story collections. He lives near Santa Barbara, California.
