Blazing through states, cities, towns, continents, Crane fearlessly pivots from micro to macro, humor to tragedy, past to present, mixing an off kilter sensibility with a heartbreaking reality, guiding us into the fringed and often fantastical lives of her characters. And that has never been truer than in her new collection, \u003ci\u003eTurf\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe end of the world as seen through a young couple in Brooklyn, who find a baby in a bucket on their front step; a group of geniuses who meet every Wednesday, able to unlock all the secrets of the universe except for the unknowable mystery of love; a woman and her dog walker whose friendship is uprooted by an incident at the park; these are dark, intriguing vistas explored in Crane’s glowing collection. For as places change, and people come and go, these stories in \u003ci\u003eTurf\u003c\/i\u003e remind us that it is the unchanging nature of the human heart that connects us all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soft Skull Press, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036992585968,"sku":"9781619029347","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781619029347_p0.jpg?v=1763859720","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781619029347","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
