Tooth and Claw (Broché)

This new collection of short stories from T. C. Boyle finds him at his mercurial best. Inventive, wickedly funny, sometimes disturbing, these are stories about drop-outs, deadbeats and kooks. Take the man who shares his apartment with a wildcat won in a drunken bet, or the drive-time shock jock hallucinating from sleep deprivation for a publicity stunt, or the suburbar woman who joins a pack of dogs, eating rabbits and baying at the moon.
With a unique deftness of touch and a keen eye for the telling detail, Boyle has mapped the strange underworld of America.
