His second collection. There is so much detail in each page, three pages feels like enough words for ten pages. Each sentence is so perfectly crafted to reveal just enough information to create a short story. I just love savoring each story, even each sentence. I also had to read Gogol's 'Overcoat' before reading Boyle's 'Overcoat II'. Possibly these stories packed slightly less of a punch than the 'Descent of Man' collection I also read this year (more favorites in that one than in this), but that is some tough competition. I loved most of these stories (especially the Sherlock parody): Rupert Beersley & the Beggar Master of Sivani-Hoota, On For the Long Haul, The New Moon Party, Not A Leg to Stand On, Greasy Lake, Caviar, Whales Weep, All Shook Up, Stones In My Passway Hellhound on My Trail, A Bird In Hand, The Overcoat II. (Yes, that is most of them,) If I could only read Boyle's writing, and no other writer's, I would be completely happy with that. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Premi e riconoscimenti
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.
