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 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.
