T.C. Boyle

The author of a string of well-regarded novels, including the Pen Faulkner Award winner World’s End, Boyle’s The Relive Box and Other Stories shows that Boyle is also a master of the short story. From the title story, featuring a so-called relive box that allows users to experience anew almost any moment from their past, to “The Five-Pound Burrito,” the tale of a man aiming to build the biggest burrito in town, the twelve stories in the collection span a variety of styles and genres, and represent a whole new way of looking at the world from one of the best storytellers at work today. The prize-winning “Are We Not Men?” reflects on the meaning of new gene-editing technologies that threaten our very humanity. In “She’s the Bomb,” a young woman waits, on her graduation day, heart in mouth, for an explosive event. And in the chilling “The Designee,” a lonely widower can’t believe his luck when he receives a mysterious letter from England.
