Gleason Maps The Literary Influences That Shaped Boyle'S 'Wise Guy' Style, Among Them Gabriel Garca Mrquez, Flannery O'Connor, Raymond Carver, And Samuel Beckett. The Volume Then Features Chapters On Boyle'S Short Fiction And His Novels Of The Past Three Decades. Gleason Demonstrates Boyle'S Literary Development As Entertainer, Absurdist, Social Commentator And Critic, And Historical Novelist Who Chronicles The Baby Boomer Generation While Addressing A Range Of Contemporary Social Issues, Such As Race Relations, Illegal Immigration, And Feminism.Gleason Shows How Boyle Uses Dark Humor As A Moral And Satiric Force For Social Commentary In The Tradition Of Writers Such As Charles Dickens And Mark Twain.
