Insightful and vivid, as Boyle always is. Some stories in this collection - Are We Not Men, The Five-Pound Burrito, The Argentine Ant - were 5-star stories for me. But even when others didn't move the meter in the way that those did, they were still packed with Boyle's unique understanding of humanity and all the foibles that define characters and moments. Boyle is a master storyteller.
