Synopsis
Mythic and realistic, farcical and tragic, The Washington Post Book World says these masterful stories mark T. Coraghessan Boyle 's development from "a prodigy's audacity to something that packs even more of a wallop: mature artistry." They cover everything, from a terrifying encounter between a bunch of suburban adolescents and a murderous, drug-dealing biker, to a touching though doomed love affair between Eisenhower and Nina Khruschev., Mythic and realist, farcical and tragic, these fifteen "fables of contemporary life [are] so funny and acutely observed that they might have been written [for] Saturday Night Live " ( The New York Times )--from the award-winning author of The Tortilla Curtain . "Boyle . . . owns a ferocious, delicious imagination, often darkly satirical and always infatuated with language."-- The Los Angeles Times Book Review In "The Hector Quesadilla Story," T.C. Boyle writes of an aging Latin ballplayer, long past his best stuff, who on his birthday is put into an endless rotation in a game that goes on forever; in "All Shook Up," he tells of the doomed affair between his narrator and the sweet, feckless wife of an aspiring Elvis Presley look-alike; in "On for the Long Haul," he describes the grim scenarios enacted by a credulous survivalist and his family in their nuclear-holocaust-proof haven in the sticks; and in the title story, he portrays a terrifying and violent encounter between a bunch of late-adolescent layabouts and a murderous drug-dealing biker.

- e***d (469)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoThe item was exactly as described. It was in excellent condition. I felt it was a reasonable value. The item was well packaged in a protected envelope - but of course USPS found a way to fold it in half before delivery. It wasn’t the fault of the seller - it’s too bad it now has a permanent crease.
