About this listen

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. Here are 14 new tales previously unpublished in book form.

By turns mythic and realistic, farcical and tragic, ironic and moving, Boyle's stories have mapped a wide range of human emotions. The stories here reflect his maturing themes. They 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.

I’ve read all T C Boyles’s books and I’m a big fan.
These stories are terrific and beautifully read.
Highly recommended.

Superb

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.

Brilliant

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.
