T. C. Boyle is one of the most renowned storytellers of the modern era. This collection of fourteen stories drifts effortlessly between myth and reality, encompassing a panorama of human emotions. In "The Marlbane Manchester Musser Award," Boyle reveals a writer's dismay when a simple trip is turned upside down by a stranger. "Los Gigantes" tells the story of a group of giants being used to create a new breed of soldier for the military. In "The Way You Look Tonight" Boyle examines the way our perceptions of our loved ones can change on a dime with just a simple revelation. And in "Sic Transit" he shows how quickly we can become consumed with curiosity.

Boyle travels the world in these and the rest of the stories, from California to Russia, Latin America to upstate New York, but his adept touch at depicting the lives of his characters never wavers.

All stars

perfect short stories that stay with you. Like a blend of John Updike couples and David Sedaris' excruciating honesty, sure footed and spare, each story unfolds so naturally that you forget it has been written.
From dog baiting lowlife to menopausal housewives, each character feels unique and true; funny, thoughtful and original.

The author reading their own often doesn’t work, actors
narrators seeming to add more depth etc. This audible
Has proved me wrong, he is very capable of reading his
own, and is very good at it, love the format, really like his droll and sometimes quite subtle tones, really worth
downloading , try it !

Very pleasantly surprised

This guy must have got A++ in every creative writing course he ever took - he never puts a word wrong. Stories are lean and action-packed and almost always have a point. So why only three stars? Honestly, it is just because I am a middle aged woman, possibly with a pedantic bent, and he is not floating my boat. I feel Boyle is writing for guys (there is quite a bit of violence and pain, and his female characters all cook much better than I do). Don't let me put you off if you like well written short stories set in the USA.
