Boyle's riveting new novel lays bare the raw reality behind the city-dweller's romantic dream of living at one with nature
Boyle's riveting new novel lays bare the raw reality behind the city-dweller's romantic dream of living at one with nature
Lively, intelligent, wonderfully written
Writing on the top of his form ... hugely enjoyable ... thoroughly gripping
One of the funniest, most subtle novels we've had about the hippy era's slow fade to black ... this may be his most affecting emotionally complex novel ... This may be his most affecting and emotionally complex novel
Boyle is a maverick talent ... tension is maintained by a series of gripping conflicts until the reader finally emerges with despair and admiration for the human spirit
A vastly entertaining tale that balances the exuberance and the excesses, the promise and the preposterousness of the counterculture perhaps better than any other work of American fiction
Not only an entertaining romp through the madness of the countercultural ’70s, but a stirring parable about the American dream as well
Exhilarating ... Drop City is a marvel of construction with a champion omniscient narrator
Anything goes in Boyle's imaginative world, so long as it is raw, elemental and in excess
Comedy, tragedy and more great sentences than seems entirely fair. Boyle's not exactly unknown, but it's high time he was deified. Marvellous
Acutely observed and perfectly pitched, this exhilarating novel rides emotional novel rides emotional cross-currents like a raft on rapids
TC Boyle's doorstop of a book will have you rushing to bed early to find out what happens next ... a gripping book and a timely reminder of the sexism at the heart of the hippy movement
No one better than Boyle can hoover a sentence out of the gods' imaginations, and set it in glitter on the page ... Boyle is America's most acerbic catastrophist-realist writing today. Here his vision is more compassionate, more hopeful than ever before. Full of pure invention. A glorious read
Boyle, whose prolific fiction outpouring has begun to rival that of such workhorses as John Updike and Joyce Carol Oates, ranks as one of our master satirists
Boyle has spun a tale of love, lust and communities, set against the backdrop of the great American landscape
Right from the opening sentence, Boyle shows himself to be a consummate novelist. Utterly stylish prose, humane characterisation, deft attention to detail and graceful plotting: what reader could ask for more? A profoundly satisfying book
One of the finest American contemporary novelists, his name on the cover a guarantee of an intelligent and stimulating read ... Read it and, if you haven't done so already, go away and invest in his fine back catalogue ... Don't be square, man, get him to the trip
Drop City verges on flawless ... Boyle has a light, winning touch that never fails. He conveys small details beautifully, and through them encapsulates whole worlds ... literary bliss. All in all, quite a trip
T. C. Boyle is the New York Times bestselling author of sixteen novels including The Tortilla Curtain, Drop City, San Miguel and The Terranauts, and ten collections of stories, most recently T. C. Boyle Stories II. His work has been translated into twenty-five languages and has won both the PEN/Malamud and Rea Awards in recognition of his short fiction. He is a member of the Academy of Arts and Letters and lives in California. tcboyle.com
