title: Greasy Lake and Other Stories (Contemporary American Fiction)
author:  T.Coraghessan Boyle 
description: As he portrays environmentalists, surrogate mothers and drug dealers, "Boyle proves himself in this second story collection truly a master of that genre. Wide-ranging in subject and variously comic, tragic, poignant and horrific, the stories are all compounds of imagination, vitality and scrupulous craft," judged PW. <br />Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
