T.C. Boyle brings his stories to life at CNU
Illuminated only by a small podium lamp in the darkened GrandBallroom, author T.C.

Describing himself as primarily a storyteller, the New YorkTimes bestselling author of 24 books of fiction read aloud two of hismany short stories: "Back in the Eocene" in which a girl's drug-resistance school program leads her father to recall his own drug-filledpast, and "The Lie," originally published in The New Yorker in 2008,about a father who escapes work by faking his baby's death.
