I loved the Tortilla Curtain. I think it has the most perfect ending of any novel I've read.

I thought East is East a perfect little book and should/could be read first. If I recall correctly, it's wonderful compassion for the hardhips encountered by an immigrant outsider's voyage into the depths of the depravity of the American Dream spoke volumes.
Drop City is one of my all time favorites. Of course, a)having come of age in the sixties, b) that I still long for a viable Utopian Community to exist, and c) I yet dream of seeing/settling in the wilds of Alaska may have something to do with my passion for this particular stupendous writing and reading experience.
Boyle is able to use language unavailable to the madding crowds of writer wannabes, and wield it as a weapon of love while creating an entire world of living breathing fiction for which you will yearn when it comes to the final page and wisps away. A better reading experience is hard to find.
I look forward to getting my hands on the soon to be available "The Women" as everything TC Boyle writes spins words into worlds hitherto unknown.
