Why had I never heard of this guy? This collection of stories by the incredibly prolific American writer T.C. Boyle, is stellar. From bachelors trying to find love in Alaska, to a bartender who gets obsessed with an Internet "peep house", to a post-apocalyptic world peopled by loners, the stories never disappoint. Boyle has an incredibly dark sense of humour that hovers between satire and irony as he explores the foibles of contemporary society. Highly recommended.
