Description

Practical and mythological, farcical and tragic, The Washington Post Book World claims these outstanding tales mark T. Coraghessan Boyle's improvement from "a prodigy's audacity to something which packs much more of a wallop: adult art." They include everything, from the frightening experience between a lot of suburban teenagers and a murderous, drug-dealing rider, to some pressing although doomed romance between Eisenhower and Nina Khruschev.
