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.
