by T. C. Boyle (Author)

Seventeen short stories from the New York Times bestselling author of The Tortilla Curtain, "the sort of writer who inspires even poker-faced writers to grin and start dusting off their superlatives" (The Washington Post Book World).

"Descent of Man is loaded with energetic language. . . . Boyle is capable of the sublime."--The New York Times Book Review

In seventeen slices of life that defy the expected and launch us into the absurd, T.C. Boyle offers his unique view of the world. A primate-center researcher becomes romantically involved with a chimp; a Norse poet overcomes bard-block; collectors compete to snare the ancient Aztec beer can, Quetzalc?atl Lite; and Lassie abandons Timmy for a randy coyote.

Dark humor, delirious fantasy, and surreal satire come together in this collection that brilliantly expresses just what the "evolution" of mankind has wrought.
