I enjoyed the stories although some, like short stories do, seem to end abruptly. I don't mind as it allows for reader imagination and speculation which is part of what reading is about. It was narrated by the author which in my experience is not always a good thing but in this case Boyle did a great job. ( ) T.C. Boyle is of the rarest species of writers: a literary rock star with staying power. Boyle can spin an original tale with a topic snatched from the headlines, such as squatters in Chernobyl or a tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo. But he can also tell deeply personal, almost confessional tales. The added bonus here is that he is the narrator and he is amazing. Sounds kind of like a cross between Allen Ginsberg and Richard Ford. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: T. C. Boyle is one of the most renowned storytellers of the modern era. This collection of fourteen stories drifts effortlessly between myth and reality, encompassing a panorama of human emotions. In "The Marlbane Manchester Musser Award," Boyle reveals a writer's dismay when a simple trip is turned upside down by a stranger. "Los Gigantes" tells the story of a group of giants being used to create a new breed of soldier for the military. In "The Way You Look Tonight" Boyle examines the way our perceptions of our loved ones can change on a dime with just a simple revelation. And in "Sic Transit" he shows how quickly we can become consumed with curiosity. Boyle travels the world in these and the rest of the stories, from California to Russia, Latin America to upstate New York, but his adept touch at depicting the lives of his characters never wavers. .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
