T.C. Boyle returns with another brash novel of the American underbelly. When Dana Halter, a beautiful deaf woman, is pulled over in a routine traffic stop, the cops find multiple felonies on her record. With the help of new boyfriend Bridger she finally manages to escape from the judicial nightmare, and the two begin tracking down the people who have stolen her identity: William Peck Wilson, a rakish con man with a taste for fine foods, and his equally extravagant Russian mail-order bride.

340 pp.; 20 cm. AS NEW. "The bestselling author of The Inner Circle and Drop City returns with a timely new novel about a woman in desperate pursuit of a man who has stolen her identity. The first time Bridger saw Dana she was dancing barefoot, her hair aflame in the red glow of the club, her body throbbing with rhythms and cross-rhythms that only she could hear. He was mesmerized. That night they were both deaf, mouthing to each other over the booming bass. And it was not until their first date, after he had agonized over what CD to play in the car, that Bridger learned that her deafness was profound and permanent. By then, he was falling in love. Now she is in a courtroom, her legs shackled, as a list of charges is read out. She is accused of assault with a deadly weapon, auto theft, and passing bad checks, among other things. Clearly there has been a terrible mistake. A man - his name is William 'Peck' Wilson as Dana and Bridger eventually learn - has been living a blameless life of criminal excess at Dana's expense. And as Dana and Bridger set out to find him, they begin to test to its limits the life they have started to build together. Talk Talk is both a thrilling road trip across America and a moving story about language, love, and identity from one of America's finest novelists. / T. C. Boyle is the author of eleven novels, including World's End (winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award), Drop City (a New York Times bestseller and finalist for the National Book Award), and The Inner Circle. His most recent story collections are Tooth and Claw and The Human Fly and Other Stories." - Publisher.
