T. Coraghessan Boyle

4.9/5 (26550 ratings)

Description:T. Coraghessan Boyle is regarded as one of America's greatest living short-story writers. But his short stories are not what we understand the short story to be.In the stories of T. Coraghessan Boyle, Lassie finally gets rid of Timmy and has it off with a coyote: the story will never be the basis for a new television series. But neither will Boyle's other ‘love’ stories: the touching (but inevitably doomed) affair between Eisenhower and Nina Krushchev, or the fling a researcher has with her monkey (is marriage really out of the question?). A bard overcomes Bardsblock; a PR consultant sets out to polish up the Ayatollah's image. ‘Quetzalcoatl Lite’ (the famous Aztec beer), ‘Greasy Lake’ (inspired by the Springsteen song), ‘All Shook Up’, ‘Stones in my Passway, Hellhound on my Trail’: it is evident, from the titles alone, that the stories of T. Coraghessan Boyle are not — well, English.Boyle's stories have appeared in seventeen languages in numerous magazines around the world, and have been subsequently published in three books: The Descent of Man (1979), Greasy Lake (1985) and If the River was Whiskey (1989).
