READER QUESTIONS/INTERPRETATIONS

This section was suggested in a message posted to the T. Coraghessan Boyle Message Board in  May 2000 by Sorehand in which he cited "the usual increase of, "Please help, my paper is due in 3 days and I don't understand the story" messages. 

To try and give aid and comfort to those in search of answers to their questions, I am now offering the best information I have been able to cull from the Message Board, as well as from sections of interviews in which TCB has been quoted.  Check out the links below in addition to the pages on the menubar at the left side of this page.   I have listed three different sections below: the first section deals with Boyle's novels; the second section lists specific stories under discussion; the third section addresses more general questions.
