Description
A raucous collection of short stories from the astonishingly inventive and bestselling writer of The Harder They Come and The TerranautsWhile T. C. Boyle is known as one of our greatest American novelists, he is also an acknowledged master of the short story. In The Relive Box, his first collection following two hugely influential collected volumes, Boyleโs crackling wit and thematic range combine with a penetrating social consciousness to produce his trademark โinventive and often crushingly comicโ (NPR) short fiction.
From the title story, featuring a so-called relive box that allows users to experience anew almost any moment from their past, to โThe Five-Pound Burrito,โ the tale of a man aiming to build the biggest burrito in town, the twelve stories in this collection represent a whole new way of looking at the world from one of the best storytellers at work today.
The Relive Box is an exuberant, linguistically dazzling book from someone the Boston Globe has said is โsuch a good storyteller it will probably take, as in Alice Munroโs case, the Nobel Prize or retirement for us to realize what tremendous talent has lain right in front of our noses.โ ISBN:9780062673398
