All of these stories read easily and nail the vibe of Northeastern winters in New York and New England, but they’re extremely hit and miss. The Fog Man and Heart of a Champion are great, but others I was super grateful to be done with.

I'm failing to see what the TC Boyle hype is about.

t.c. boyle is such an imaginative writer - he doesn't take himself too serious and it makes reading him so much fun. i read just now that he cites kurt vonnegut as 1 of his influences and now everything, it makes sense. p.s. juliana cloth is one of my favorite stories ever written!
