Title: not as good as "Drop City", but a very good read
Review: T.C. Boyle is one of the best writers in the US today. I think thatshort fiction is his strongest suit, however he has written severalvery good novels. As in his other novels, the character in "Talk, talk"are members of an american subculture. The book tells a fairly convincing storyof identity theft, and uses it to provide a study of the three mainprotagonists: Dana, Peck and Bridger. As the book progresses, itappears that the plot is there mainly to put these characters intosituations far out of the ordinary and examine their behavior. WhilePeck is certainly a borderline sociopath, there are really no heroes inthe story. However, sufficient background is provided to motivate theaction of all the characters.
