Michael Gills's fourth collection of short fiction continues the saga of Joey Harvell, who's from a people prone to impromptu fistfights on the sides of southern highways, where they drive semis hauling dead whales floating in beds of formaldehyde, after all, \"this was the Dixie Circuit-it was nothing for a Peterbilt to pull off the interstate with a six-hundred-pound rat, two-headed goats or Donkey Woman nursing horsey-faced twins.\" Murderous and grace-infused, these stories incinerate the family trials and tribulations that collect and go on collecting until they stack floor to ceiling under the carports of our lives. What's left after the great conflagration is a matter of the heart, how we love, even when it's impossible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781680033137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs","brand":"Michael Gills","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43271936311477,"sku":"9781680033137","price":19.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c940cda4-e755-41ff-8ba9-dbcdaade1f62.jpg?v=1699958867","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/burning-down-my-fathers-house-stories-9781680033137","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
