Greasy Lake and Other Stories

This collection of 15 short stories includes Ike and Nina, the tale of an imaginary affair between Dwight D. Eisenhower and Khrushchev's wife; The Hector Quesadilla Story, a sad tale of an aging ball player; The Overcoat II, Boyle's modern-day take on the classic Gogol story; and the much-anthologized title story, in which a pack of very naive young men desperately trying to be tough pay the sad consequences of their fake machismo.
