T.C. Boyle is arguably the funniest, meanest writer of short stories working in this country today. Eccentric people face spectacular circumstances in his clockwork plots. An airplane bursts into flames. A drug addict is sent to work at his brother's abortion clinic; he brings his gun. How do the characters behave? Badly sometimes, always believably. After Boyle hits contemporary America with a plague, one survivor tells another: "You don't have to make car payments or remember your mother's birthday. It's over. Don't you get it?" Scott Brick is a talented and enthusiastic reader, but his performance is oddly uneven. Everybody has trouble pronouncing "Coraghessan," but "gnocchi"? B.H.C.
