Kurzbeschreibung
In seventeen slices of life that defy the expected and launch us into the absurd, T.C. Boyle offers his unique view of the world. A primate-center researcher becomes romantically involved with a chimp; a Norse poet overcomes bard-block; collectors compete to snare the ancient Aztec beer can, Quetzacoatl Lite; and Lassie abandons Timmy for a randy coyote. Dark humor, delirious fantasy, and surreal satire come together in this collection that brilliantly expresses just what the "evolution" of mankind has wrought.
Über den Autor
T. C. Boyle is the author of eleven novels, including World's End (winner of the PEN/FaulknerAward), Drop City (a New York Times bestseller and finalist for the National Book Award), and The Inner Circle. His most recent story collections are Tooth and Claw and The Human Fly and Other Stories.

Format:Taschenbuch
You'll never forget reading this book. The story "Descent of Man" is one of the funniest things I have ever read. The rest are equally satisfying, although, not all funny. Some of the stories, while thought provoking, are somewhat gloomy. Still, those that are not in the comedic vein, "Drowning" and "The Extinction Tales" come to mind, are highly entertaining and not to be disregarded. As for the rest, "The Champ," "John Barleycorn Lives," "Quetzacoatl Lite" and etc. etc. are absolutely some of the most amusing stories I'v ever had the pleasure of stumbling across. Descent of Man rocks my world!!!!!
Format:Taschenbuch
I think Descent of Man and Green Hell are two of the funniest short stories I have ever read. Either of these two are worth the price of the book.
You may want to read only a few stories at a time as they tend to get a little dark and depressing, but the two titles mentioned above are gems.
Format:Taschenbuch
I hate a story I can predict. I have never read anything less predictable. I loved this book. I only wish I could forget it and enjoy reading it again at a later date, but I know it's stories are unforgettable.
