Over the past twenty-five years, T.C. Boyle has earned wide acclaim and
an enthusiastic following with such adventurous, inimitable novels as
The Tortilla Curtain, Drop City, and The Road to Wellville. For his
riveting eleventh novel, Boyle offers readers the closest thing to a
thriller he has ever written, a tightly scripted page turner about the
trials of Dana Halter, a thirty-three-year-old deaf woman whose identity
has been stolen. Featuring a woman in the lead role (a Boyle first),
Talk Talk is both a suspenseful chase across America and a moving
story about language, love, and identity from one of America's most
versatile and entertaining novelists.
