Book Review of Without a Hero : And Other Stories

Without a Hero : And Other Stories
reviewed on + 17 more book reviews


This collection contains the short story "Filthy with Things," one of the most relevant bits of literature I have run across for our today's culture. Boyle's humor is sharp and sardonic and may not be to everyone's taste, but all of his work is well-written. If it doesn't come up with any definite answers, it at least spotlights various problems in our society in an entertaining way.
