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

4.0

A stellar collection of stories from one of my favorite writers. Boyle's work somehow manages to be both funny and suffused with dread. I'm not sure how he does it, but it's on full display here. The title story especially – about a lonely guy who falls in love with a waitress when he accidentally wins a deadly cat in a bet – manages to be both hilarious and heartbreaking. Brilliant stuff.
