Ordinary men stand at the threshold of profound change, from a story about a famous writer caring for a dying but still willful father, to the tale of a young Indian boy who learns to value his own life by appreciating the deaths of others. Perceptions change, too, as “Another Proclamation” casts a shadow over Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, and “Invisible Dog on a Leash” limns the heartbreak of shattered childhood illusions. And nostalgia for antiquated technology is tenderly rendered in “Ode to Mix Tapes” and “Ode for Pay Phones.”\u003cbr\u003eWith his versatile voice, Alexie explores love, betrayal, fatherhood, alcoholism, and art in this spirited, soulful, and endlessly entertaining collection, transcending genre boundaries to create something truly unique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis ebook features an illustrated biography including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125500887280,"sku":"9781480457225","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781480457225_p0.jpg?v=1769893993","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781480457225","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
