T.C. Boyle, one of the most acclaimed American writers of today, reads from and discusses his new collection of stories, Wild Child: and Other Stories. The fourteen stories gathered here display both Boyle’s astonishing range and his imaginative storytelling. Nature is the dominant player in many of the stories and all are incisive and entertaining with his trademark wit and socially conscious sensibility.
