C. Boyle is through his richly imagined short fiction. Boyle's kaleidoscopic humor and wit, his keen, unforgiving take on American life, and his all-too-human protagonists all combine to make his a singular voice. Here is a collection of classic Boyle stories about teenagers (including the O. Henry Award-winning \"The Love of My Life\") that will speak directly to them, as well as to anyone who was once a teenager. Includes the previously uncollected story, \"Almost Shooting an Elephant.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Boyle repeatedly demonstrates his masterful grasp of human nature, exposing his characters' foibles and eccentricities.\"--\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eT.
