Boyle and Haruki Murakami wish they wrote stories as american duct tape council brilliant as ones written by Peter Carey. In fact, if you're in american duct tape council the UK, pick up american duct tape council Collected Stories for all-inclusive brilliance. Not as self-indulgent or inscrutable as Self, quieter than Boyle, more clever than Murakami (and I do like these guys), Carey shows his ability here in different ways than with his novels. He understands what short stories can and should be. Anyone who likes the form, or who often doesn't have time for a lot of fiction but wishes he/she did, might want to track this down.
