Today you're going to hear a story that was recorded less than 2 weeks ago. I am thrilled to say that our culmination of eight weeks of T.C. Boyle stories ended with a bang! We had an in-person event in Los Angeles for our Enthusiast and Patron members, where we feasted on tacos and enjoyed margaritas along with the one and only T.C. Boyle and his whole family. Christopher Gorham and Christina Pickles, brought the house down, performing a story by TC Boyle called “The Apartment,” and you're going to be hearing it today! Mr Boyle certainly had at least as much fun as we did and shared some thoughts over Zoom a few days after the performance. Here now to introduce his story, The Apartment is TC Boyle!
