The fourteen reports in this abundant new collection screen T.C. Boyle's amazing range and imaginative muscle. Nature is the dominant player in many of these stories, whether by means of a catastrophic mudslide that allows a cynic to reclaim his humanity or in Boyle's powerfully original retelling of the storyplot of Victor, the feral boy who was simply captured running naked through the forests of Napoleonic France a moving and sensational investigation of what this means to be individuals. Other tales range from the drama of a man who spins Homeric lies in order to stop going to work to the miserable comedy of a kid delivered to Mexican street vendors who is struggling to feel pain. Great, incisive, and always interesting, Boyle's short reports showcase the mischievous humor and socially conscious sensibility which have made him one of the most acclaimed writers of the time.
