T.C. Boyle has contributed to numerous multi-author anthologies over the course of his career. These range from literary journals like Granta and McSweeney’s to themed collections like I’m With the Bears (environmental fiction) and Press Start to Play (stories inspired by video games). His willingness to write for unusual anthologies reflects the range of his interests.
The ten anthologies listed here span from 1982 to 2017. Boyle’s contributions to these collections often feature the same wit and inventiveness found in his solo short story volumes. For readers who have already worked through his novels and collections, these anthologies offer a way to find more of his work.
