T.C. Boyle.Maverick.
The speaker is T.C.
Boyle.Maverick storyteller T.C. Boyle shares humorous anecdotes about
his creative process and his philosophy of literature as entertainment.
The prolific writer reads excerpts from his latest work, Tooth and
Claw, a collection of stories centered on the theme of man's struggle
for survival. Boyle, whose stories appear regularly in Playboy, The New
Yorker, and GQ magazine received the PEN/Faulkner Award for his World's
End. In 1994, his "Road to Wellville" was adapted for screen and became
the Hollywood blockbuster starring Anthony Hopkins and Matthew
Broderick. The New York Times calls Boyle "one of the most inventive
and verbally exuberant writers of his generation."

What I like about him is this guy
takes a detached oberver's view point: he would rather keep his
biography simple as "This guy lived and died, wrote some funny
stories." than having too much zigzags as the plot of his stories.
