Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

Adolescent sex in a Scottish boys' public school ...Oddballs on the seedy side of America ...Murder in a quiet Devon cottage ...Comical, ironical or lacerating - wit is the keynote of these stories, which include two early adventures from the career of Morgan Leafy, glorious anti-hero of William Boyd's prize-winning novel "A Good Man in Africa". 'His writing, with nods in the direction of Borges and Nabokov, combines violence, comedy and experiment ...an impressively varied collection' - "Time Out".

From the Back Cover

"A skilled narrator with great powers of witty invention.... William Boyd has established himself as an accomplished and adventurous writer."–The New York Times Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant piece of expository writing on a controversial war, Nov 14 1998
By pgillcrist@worldnet.att.net (La Jolla, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: On The Yankee Station (Paperback)
Of all of the millions of words written about the contoversial war in Vietnam the ones in this book ring truest! Cdr. Nichols, a veteran of over 300 combat missions flown from carriers in the Tonkin Gulf and over 3,000 hours in the Crusader, knows how to bring the reader right into the cockpit with him. What a spectacular true story of a truly unusual war! Read it!!!
