We're pleased to announce that renowned author T.C. Boyle, author of many novels and short story collections that we love, will be signing copies of his books at the Skylight Books booth at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at UCLA this Saturday.

We'll have copies of T.C. Boyle's books available for purchase, including Wild Child, his acclaimed new story collection, and The Women, his latest novel, which is now out in paperback!

Praise for Wild Child:
"[A] dazzling collection.... Potent, indelible glimpses of California -- loaded to the gills with dark humor, natural disasters and brushes with Botox -- abound throughout Wild Child." --Los Angeles Times

"The 14 pieces in this collection showcase the skills of a master." --The Washington Post

Praise for The Women:
"Wonderfully entertaining... In his inexhaustible capacity to beguile us as a natural storyteller, T.C. Boyle is surely one of our most American novelists since Mark Twain, and one of our very best." --The Boston Globe

"Boyle at his best." --The New York Times Book Review


T.C. Boyle has written twelve novels, including World's End, winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award; Drop City, a New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist; and, most recently, The Women, also a New York Times bestseller. He is also the author of eight highly acclaimed short-story collections. In 1999 he was the recipient of the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction, and in 2009 he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He lives near Santa Barbara, California, and is Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Southern California.
