T. Coraghessan
Boyle is a prolific writer who has created a sizable number of short stories,
over the course of his career, many of which have been collected in his
books. This page is an attempt to chronicle the original publication
data for readers who may wish to discover their source or track down the
uncollected, orphan stories. I have provided a list of Boyle's current
short story collections here, along with a list of the stories appearing
in each book. The stories are linked by title to the original publication
data. Previously unpublished and uncollected stories are not linked.
