Synopsis
This new collection of short stories from T.C. Boyle finds him at his mercurial best. Inventive, wickedly funny, sometimes disturbing, these are the stories of the drop-outs, deadbeats and kooks of small-time America. The characters in "Tooth and Claw" are attracted to extremes: the man who shares his apartment with a wildcat won in a drunken bet; the nature buffs who find themselves in a vicious blizzard; the drive-time shock jock, hallucinating with sleep deprivation for a publicity stunt; the suburban woman who joins a pack of dogs, eating rabbits and baying at the moon. Nature, in T.C. Boyle's world, proves to be a sinister and unpredictable force, but here too are moments of reprieve, where the meteor hurtling through space maybe isn't heading straight for you. With a unique deftness of touch and a keen eye for the telling detail, T.C. Boyle has mapped the strange underworld of America with the familiarity of an expert cartographer.

Review
'A master of structure, his stories beautifully engineered machines which he spray-paints with graffiti.' Independent '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 'A terrifically skilled writer of short stories, able to enlist your sympathy and enthusiasm for his characters and their predicaments within a few sentences.' Daily Telegraph
From the Publisher
Boyle was awarded the PEN/Malamud Award given for lifetime
