An exuberant new collection from the master storyteller – comic, surreal, satirical and razor-sharp. In these twelve stories, T. C. Boyle again focuses his unerring gaze on our relationship with nature, and the unintended consequences of our attempts to control it. T. C. Boyle roams unrestrainedly through the present and near future, inhabiting his characters’ minds with a ventriloquist’s flair.
