T.C. Boyle has been writing fiction since the late 1970s and shows no signs of slowing down. His novels and short story collections cover an enormous range of subjects, from 19th-century health fads in The Road to Wellville to immigration along the California-Mexico border in The Tortilla Curtain. He has a sharp sense of humor and a willingness to take on big, messy topics.
Boyle has published twenty novels and fifteen short story collections as of 2023, with more on the way. His short fiction in particular has earned him a reputation as one of the best living practitioners of the form. He has appeared in dozens of anthologies and literary journals, and his Collected Stories volumes give readers a chance to see the full sweep of his shorter work.
