À propos de cet audio

 Few authors in America write with such sheer love of story, language, and imagination as T.C. Boyle, and nowhere is that passion more evident than in his inventive, wickedly funny, and widely praised short stories. In After the Plague, Boyle speaks of contemporary social issues in a range of emotional keys. The 16 stories gathered here address everything from air rage to abortion doctors to first love and its consequences. The collection ends with the brilliant title story, a whimsical and imaginative vision of a disease-ravaged Earth. Presented with characteristic wit and intelligence, these stories will delight readers in search of the latest news of the chaotic, disturbing, and achingly beautiful world in which we live.©2001 T. Coraghessan Boyle (P)2001 Books on Tape, Inc. Anthologies et nouvelles Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Littérature et fiction Nouvelle

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Boyle's imagination and zeal for storytelling are in top form here, making this collection a smash." (Publishers Weekly)
"Boyle is not only a master literary craftsman but also profoundly attuned to the here and now, writing with sharp wit, supple imagination, and acute emotional sensitivity about the peculiarities of our densely populated, technology addled, and precarious world....Observant, empathic, and fresh, Boyle's stories affirm literature's vital and abiding role in our culture as the lights flicker on and off and dot-coms fizzle and die." (Booklist)
"All in all this is classic Boyle, a work to be embraced by his enthusiasts and one that belongs in most collections of serious fiction." (Library Journal)

Boyle is such a great writer. Some of his stories were hard to read because they were very real. Most of the stories had me interested within minutes. I highly recommend this book.
