About the author

T. Coraghessan Boyle (also known as T.C. Boyle, is a U.S. novelist and short story writer. Since the late 1970s, he has published eighteen novels and twleve collections of short stories. He won the PEN/Faulkner award in 1988 for his third novel, World's End, which recounts 300 years in upstate New York. He is married with three children. Boyle has been a
Professor of English at the University of Southern California since 1978, when he founded the school's undergraduate creative writing program.

He grew up in the small town on the Hudson Valley that he regularly fictionalizes as Peterskill (as in widely anthologized short story Greasy Lake). Boyle changed his middle name when he was 17 and exclusively used Coraghessan for much of his career, but now also goes by T.C. Boyle.

Reviews

[Andreas Steppan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Acht Erzählungen, die jeweils für sich selbst stehen, vom Verlag neu zusammengewürfelt zu einem angeblichen "Best of". Nicht T. C. Boyles Schuld, seine Texte in diesem Band sind alle gut bis großartig.

Immer wieder aufs Neue bin ich gefesselt von Boyle‘s Schreibstil und dem Scharfsinn hinter jeder Geschichte
