Review
'Boyle, a virtuoso craftsman, is one of the reasons readers love short stories ... inside Tooth and Claw are Boyle's trademark taut writing, immediate intimacy, vivid language' E. Annie Proulx, Washington Post 'One of the most intelligent and well-respected writers of his generation, continually flexing a literary muscle most writers don't even know they have' The Times 'That he makes his characters' predicament not just compelling but often exuberantly amusing is a tribute to his talent and proof of John Cheever's claim that good prose can cure anything, including the common cold' Los Angeles Times 'Whether Boyle is breaking your heart or making you laugh, you just don't care because he is so darned good at it ... Boyle has the voice to make you smile, make you care and make you hate yourself in the morning for being taken in by such a smooth storyteller' San Francisco Chronicle
From the Publisher
Boyle was awarded the PEN/Malamud Award given for lifetime
achievement in the short story form
