Mythic and realist, farcical and tragic, these fifteen fables of contemporary life [are] so funny and acutely observed that they might have been written [for] Saturday Night Live (The New York Times)from the awardwinning author of The Tortilla Curtain.Boyle . . . owns a ferocious, delicious imagination, often darkly satirical and always infatuated with language.The Los Angeles Times Book ReviewIn The Hector Quesadilla Story, T.C. Boyle writes of an aging Latin ballplayer, long past his best stuff, who on his birthday is put into an endless rotation in a game that goes on forever; in All Shook Up, he tells of the doomed affair between his narrator and the sweet, feckless wife of an aspiring Elvis Presley lookalike; in On for the Long Haul, he describes the grim scenarios enacted by a credulous survivalist and his family in their nuclearholocaustproof haven in the sticks; and in the title story, he portrays a terrifying and violent encounter between a bunch of lateadolescent layabouts and a murderous drugdealing biker.
