T.C. Boyle's short fiction from the last 15 years, steeped in a sense of mortality, is gathered into a new collection.
In the preface to "Stories II," which gathers all the short fiction he has published in the past 15 years, 58 stories, T.C. Boyle recalls a reading Stanley Elkin once gave at the Iowa Writers Workshop. "Mr. Elkin," a student asked, "you've written a terrific collection of stories — why don't you write more of them?" Elkin's response? "No money in it. Next question."
