Tooth and Claw: And Other Stories Paperback - 2006
by T. C. Boyle
These 14 stories, which have appeared in "The New Yorker, GQ, Harper's, McSweeney's" and "Playboy" display Boyle's imaginative muscle and range.
Summary
Since his first collection of stories, Descent of Man, appeared in 1979, T.C. Boyle has become an acknowledged master of the form who has transformed the nature of short fiction in our time. Among the fourteen tales in his seventh collection are the comic yet lyrical title story, in which a young man wins a vicious African cat in a bar bet; "Dogology," about a suburban woman losing her identity to a pack of strays; and "The Kind Assassin," which explores the consequences of a radio shock jock's quest to set a world record for sleeplessness. Muscular, provocative, and blurring the boundaries between humans and nature, the funny and the shocking, Tooth and Claw is Boyle at his best.
First line
THE MAN I WANT to tell you about, the one I met at the bar at Jimmy's Steak House, was on a tear.
