  T C Boyle  RJH at 21:01 on 22 April 2008
 

Bought a book of short stories by T C Boyle recently - After the Plague. I haven't read anything by him before, but am definitely impressed. It's racy, quirky, hard-hitting stuff; the best kind of American lit. Which of his books should I read next?

He's good. I first read him in high school (he was on the syllabus) and later discovered a collection of short stories that were absolutely hilarious...the title is escaping me now, but I gave a copy to my dad (who's not a huge fiction reader) and they went down a treat...

I like his stuff very much. Would thoroughly recommend The Tortilla Curtain and Talk Talk.

Great - I'll give those a try.

Wow, Canadian syllabi (?? plural of syllabus??) are much more advanced than UK ones!
