T. Coraghessan Boyle wrote a very good novel called "Water Music."
There was nothing particularly great about it, but it's well worth
reading.

I'm now reading his "Descent of Man & Other Stories."  I've only read
three stories so far but they're all very good.  Very imaginative and
offbeat.

In his novel, Boyle's style was definitely his own.  His short stories
remind me a little of Donald Barthelme, but I don't know yet if that's
because of the similarity in style or the similarity in subject matter.
