Mr. Boyle, Writer Extraordinaire

Having been a fan of T. Coraghessan Boyle back when he was T. Coraghessan Boyle (and a New Yorker cartoon referred to him as "T. What's-His-Name Boyle"), before he became T. C. Boyle, I am 1) happy to see he's returned to the polysyllabic version of his name (so much meatier, don't you think?) and 2) very excited to see a short story of his in Harper's. To make the moment even more satisfying, the mag presents us with a short film made from that story and an interview with the filmmaker: http://harpers.org/archive/2010/01/my-pain-is-worse-than-your-pain/
