Coursey's stories are laced with humor, conspiracy, paranoia, and compassion, exploring the ripple effects of violence, the mystery of a car found in a well, house-boat culture, Texas landscapes of machinery and dust. Objects possess a totemic importance as Coursey catalogs the detritus of American culture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese ornate vignettes present a colorful cast of characters and vivid scenery, demonstrating the author's eye for detail both inanimate and human. Coursey spotlights work and deeds done by hand, and the artful, sculpted sentences reveal the writer's care and facility as a linguistic craftsman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Deep Vellum Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646051748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.87h x 4.96w x 0.87d","brand":"Coursey Tim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42223234220213,"sku":"9781646051748","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c63e5e6c-f329-4332-a160-1de349546a93.jpg?v=1655780319","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/driving-lessons-9781646051748","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
