Description
An electric collection of new short stories from the inimitable, bestselling writer of Talk to Me and Outside Looking In
In the title story of I Walk Between the Raindrops, a woman sits down next to a man at a bar and claims she has ESP. In Thirteen Days, passengers on a cruise line are quarantined, to horrifying and hilarious effect. And Hyena begins simply: “That was the day the hyena came for him, and never mind that there were no hyenas in the South of France, and especially not in Pont-Saint-Esprit—it was there and it came for him.”
A virtuoso of the short form, T.C. Boyle returns with an inventive, uproarious, and masterfully told collection of short stories characterized by biting satire, resonant wit, and a boundless, irrepressible imagination.
