"A new collection from the American master of the short story. A feral boy is captured and civilised in the Languedoc region. A young women is hired to look after a cloned dog that cost its owners $250,000. A widower in a self-satisfied suburb engulfs his loneliness in a sea of rats."
"The fourteen stories gathered here display both Boyle's astonishing range and his imaginative muscle. By turns magical and moving, these tales showcase the mischievous humor and socially conscious sensibility that have made him one of the foremost living masters of the short story."
""[A] rollicking collection of...good, old-fashioned, funny- suspenseful-head shaking stories." -The New York Times There may be no one better than T.C. Boyle at engaging, shocking, and ultimately gratifying readers while at the same time testing his characters' emotional and physical endurance. The fourteen new stories gathered here display both Boyle's astonishing range and his imaginative muscle. From "Wild Child," a retelling of the story of Victor, the feral boy who was captured running naked through the forests of Napoleonic France, to "La Conchita," the tale of a catastrophic mudslide that allows a cynic to reclaim his own humanity, these tales are by turns magical and moving, showcasing the mischievous humor and socially conscious sensibility that have made Boyle one of the foremost living masters of the short story."@en
