Von der hinteren Coverseite

In The Relive Box and Other Stories, T.C. Boyle’s first collection since he published two hugely influential collected volumes, his crackling wit and thematic range combine with a penetrating social consciousness to produce his trademark “inventive and often crushingly comic” (NPR) short fiction.

The Relive Box and Other Stories is an exuberant, linguistically dazzling book from someone the Boston Globe has said is “such a good storyteller it will probably take, as in Alice Munro’s case, the Nobel Prize or retirement for us to realize what tremendous talent has laid right in front of our noses.”
