Industry Reviews
"I like to use history as part of the myth that informs what we are now, rather than reproducing factually what might have happened."
Interview - T. Coraghessan Boyle
"Boyle has emerged as one of the most inventive and verbally exuberant writers of his generation...he has chosen, like Robert Coover and Donald Barthelme, to mix up naturalism with large doses of hyperbole and metaphor to create storybook collages that comment on older forms of literature even as they reinvent essential American myths."
New York Times - Michiko Kakutani (09/23/1987)
"Boyle has the gift of gab, and in [World's End] he displays a talent so effortlessly satirical and fluid that it suggests an image of the author at a crowded inn of wicked wits in a tale-telling fight for best space at the hearth...A rollicking and dark fable of the Hudson River Valley stretching from its Dutch foundations to the American contretemps during the Vietnam War. It is written in a voice that can compete with Swift, Byron, Irving, Twain and all those anonymous Irish liars."
John Calvin Batchelor
