T.C. Boyle was first feted as a master of the short story for his critically acclaimed Greasy Lake. With these stories applauded by People magazine as "wickedly comical," he displays once again a virtuosity and versatility rare in literary America today. Without a Hero zooms in on American phenomena such as a center for the treatment of acquisitive disorders; a couple in search of the last toads on earth; and a real estate wonder boy on a dude safari near convenient Bakerfield, California. Sharp, guileful, and malevolently funny, Boyle's stories are "more than funny, better than wicked," says The Philadelphia Inquirer. "They make you cringe with their clarity."

Critic Reviews

“The literary performances here retain Mr. Boyle’s astonishing and characteristic verve, his unaverted gaze, his fascination with everything lunatic and queasy. . . . His stories fill a reader with the giddy nausea of our cultural and theological confusions.”—The New York Times Book Review
