There’s real delicacy to the craft but underneath all the skill is a shaking sense of purpose, and a great love of the brokenness and beauty of humanity. This is a substantive, memorable debut.\" \u003cbr\u003e—Aimee Bender, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Color Master\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith lyric artistry and emotional force, Emily Geminder’s debut collection charts a vivid constellation of characters fleeing their own stories. A teenage runaway and her mute brother seek salvation in houses, buses, the backseats of cars. Preteen girls dial up the ghosts of fat girls. A crew of bomber pilots addresses the sparks of villagers below. In Cambodia, four young women confuse themselves with the ghost of a dead reporter. And from India to New York to Phnom Penh, dead girls both real and fantastic appear again and again: as obsession, as threat, as national myth and collective nightmare.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dzanc Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062619029744,"sku":"9781945814334","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781945814334_p0.jpg?v=1772806063","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781945814334","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
