Skewering human motivations with an unerring eye, T. C. Boyle roams unrestrainedly through the present and near future, inhabiting his characters' minds with a ventriloquist's flair. In characteristically electric prose he explores myriad facets of society: greed and excess; parenthood and responsibility; introspection and the digital world; and our relationship with our own mortality. An exuberant new collection from the master storyteller - comic, surreal, satirical and razor-sharp.
