I Walk Between the Raindrops
I Walk Between the Raindrops: Stories | T.C. Boyle
1 post | 2 read | 4 to read
An electric collection of new short stories from the inimitable, bestselling writer of Talk to Me and Outside Looking In In the title story of Walk Between the Raindrops, a woman sits down next to a man at a bar and claims she has ESP. In "Thirteen Days," passengers on a cruise line are quarantined, to horrifying and hilarious effect. And "Hyena" begins simply: "That was the day the hyena came for him, and never mind that there were no hyenas in the South of France, and especially not in Pont-Saint-Esprit--it was there and it came for him." A virtuoso of the short form, T.C. Boyle returns with an inventive, uproarious, and masterfully told collection of short stories characterized by biting satire, resonant wit, and a boundless, irrepressible imagination.

Boyle‘s stories are playful,inventive,witty.He writes about misogyny,school shootings,teachers who have sexual relations with their students,our relationship with nature,a quarantined cruise ship during Covid etc. in a way that is original&unique.I didn‘t love all stories but appreciated the outstanding plot and writing of every single one.My favourites are the title story&The apartment.Highly recommend!
