{"product_id":"dead-girls-and-other-stories-9781945814334","title":"Dead Girls and Other Stories","description":"\"Geminder's book showcases an acute sensitivity to worlds both inside and out. 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 With 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dzanc Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945814334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2017 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Emily Geminder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36672163250332,"sku":"9781945814334","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4af44688-71b1-41c2-bbb0-034736de8da5.jpg?v=1603927100","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dead-girls-and-other-stories-9781945814334","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
