But, as of this date, this is the most comprehensive collection of information about T.C. Boyle's work to be currently found on the Web. Because of the ephemeral nature of things on the Web, i.e. newspaper articles in particular, anyone with a serious interest in preserving a particular review or interview for future reference should save it as an HTML file rather than simply bookmarking it.

    Ecstasy in a Frog Pond:
    T. Coraghessan Boyle and the Sublime
    Written by Elizabeth Brunner, 1996, for Literary Theory class at Cal Poly under Professor Larry Inchausti
    "Fiction is art and art is the triumph over chaos ... to celebrate a world that lies spread out around us like a bewildering and stupendous dream." John Cheever
    “I swear a mouse is proof enough to stagger sextillions of infidels.” Walt Whitman

    With our lives gone stale and our world quickly approaching an expiration date, we victims of technological numbing crave the sublime, crave any experience of intensity. Responding to both the despondency and the absurdity of modern American life, contemporary author T. Coraghessan Boyle slams his readers awake with tension-filled prose. Despite that bohemian black-leather smirk on book jackets, Boyle builds transformative and political messages into his bizarre, often dark, fiction. In the unforgettable short story “Hopes Rise,” Boyle juxtaposes environmental disaster with the life-force chorus of breeding frogs, producing a moment of deliberate sublimity. Although writing in the third century, Longinus provides a definition of the sublime powerful enough to illuminate text centuries later in our jaded age. Certainly we need the sublime now more than ever; we need to be exalted, elated, and ecstatic. As Longinus describes, “the soul is raised by true sublimity, it gains a proud step upwards...” (60). The sublime overpowers our reason and our senses, lifting us into a transformed state. In science, the sublimity process requires heating a solid into a gas and then condensing the vapor back into a purified solid form. Similarly, the literary sublime condenses meaning into passages of such “extraordinary genius” and beauty that the reader is purified by a quantum leap in understanding (56).

    Boyle, T. Coraghessan The Road to Wellville
    Genre Novel (475 pp.) Keywords Adoption Alcoholism Alternative Medicine Caregivers ... Women's Health Summary In the fall of 1907, Will and Eleanor Lightbody, a wealthy, neurotic couple from Peterskill, New York travel to Battle Creek, Michigan to immerse themselves in the routine of the famous sanitarium run by corn-flake inventor, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. They meet Charlie Ossining who is seeking his fortune in the fickle market of Battle Creek's breakfast food industry. The Lightbodys have just lost their infant daughter and Eleanor is taking Will to the "san" for the cure. An inveterate meat-eater with a sexual appetite, Will was addicted, first to alcohol, and then, to opium, after his wife spiked his coffee with an off-the-shelf-remedy for drink. At the sanitarium, they must occupy separate rooms, refrain from sex, and piously eat inflexible non-meat diets. Therapies include five daily enemas, exercises, "radiated" water, and an electrical "sinusoidal bath," which accidentally fries one of the residents. Kellogg is gravely disappointed in Will's inability to toe the "physiologic" line, but he is more deeply disturbed by his adopted son, George, whose chosen life on the street is a perpetual embarrassment.
