Publisher's Synopsis
"In the title story of 'Walk Between the Raindrops,' a woman sits down next to a man at a bar and claims she has ESP. In 'Thirteen Days,' passengers on a cruise line are quarantined, to horrifying and hilarious effect. And 'Hyena' begins simply: 'That was the day the hyena came for him, and never mind that there were no hyenas in the South of France, and especially not in Pont-Saint-Esprit--it was there and it came for him.' A virtuoso of the short form, T.C. Boyle returns with an inventive, uproarious, and masterfully told collection of short stories characterized by biting satire, resonant wit, and a. boundless, irrepressible imagination."--Dust jacket.
