商品简介
T.C. Boyle's blazingly inventive imagination, his flair for entertaining and moving his readers, and his sheer love of story and language are perhaps nowhere better displayed than in his celebrated short fiction. He is, in the words of The Wall Street Journal, "a hugely exuberant, infinitely capable storyteller," one who "is capable of shifting scales from the lyrical to the vernacular, the literary to the mundane without the slightest strain." (The New York Times) In 1998, T.C. Boyle Stories brought together the author's first four collections to critical acclaim. Now comes T.C. Boyle Stories II, a companion volume that gathers the work from his three most recent collections along with fourteen marvelous new tales previously unpublished in book form, as well as a preface in which Boyle looks back on his career as a writer of stories and the art of making them. By turns mythic and realistic, farcical and tragic, ironic and moving, Boyle's stories are astonishing in their range and richness. The fifty-eight stories in this new volume, written over the past two decades, reflect his maturing themes. Along with the satires and tall tales that established his reputation, readers will find stories speaking to contemporary social issues, from air rage to abortion doctors, and character-driven tales of quiet power and passion. Others capture timeless themes, from first love and its consequences to confrontations with mortality, or explore the conflict between civilization and wildness. The new stories in "A Death in Kitchawank," the final part of T.C. Boyle Stories II, find Boyle testing his characters' emotional and physical endurance with finely calibrated empathy, whether it's a group of giants being bred as weapons of war in a fictional Latin American country, a Russian woman who ignores dire warnings in returning to her radiation-contaminated home, a hermetic writer who gets more than a break in his routine when he travels to receive a minor award, or a man in a California mountain town who goes a little too far in his concern for a widow.
