A joyful, freewheeling, funny and profound new collection from
‘one of the most inventive, adventurous and accomplished fiction
writers in the US today’ (Lionel Shriver) For one woman, a
cross-country train ride becomes a parallel journey into the dark
psyche of American manhood. An old man and his neighbour enter
strike up a friendship that might a more sinister battle of wits
than he first thinks. A man, waiting for his wife in a bar on
Valentine's Day, is plagued by a stranger who claims to be
clairvoyant. In electric prose T. C. Boyle explores myriad facets
of society: greed and excess, parenthood and responsibility, the
digital world and the way we understand our mortality. Roaming
unrestrainedly through the present and near future, he inhabits his
characters’ minds with a ventriloquist’s flair, skewering human
motivations and revealing us to ourselves with empathy and wry
humour.
