Boyle focuses hisunerring eye on humanity s relationship with nature and the unintended consequences of our efforts to control it.

A burrito-seller has a killer business idea in The Five-Pound Burrito , but learns that success comes at a price.

And in the chilling The Designee , a lonely widower can t believe his luck when he receives a mysterious letter from England.In electric prose T. C. Boyle explores myriad facets of society: greed and excess, parenthood and responsibility, the digital world and the way we understand our mortality. Roaming unrestrainedly throughthe present and near future, he inhabits his characters minds with a ventriloquist s flair, skewering human motivations and revealing us to ourselves with empathy and wry humour.
