Tooth and Claw: And Other Stories by T.C. Boyle

3.0

There are glimmers in each of these stories that remind me why Boyle is one of my favorite authors. The man whose wife is whisked out to sea the day he professes his renewed love. The juxtaposition of an asteroid slamming into the earth and the possible abduction of a man's daughter. An attempt to save his friends from the police, forces a junkie to give up his habit. Such intriguing premises, but with every short story I felt like the closing sentences ended with an elipses or a breath. I suppose that's why I enjoy his novels more. There's time for him to flush out and linger upon his architectural characters.
