{"product_id":"equal-love-9780618006991","title":"Equal Love","description":"Peter Ho Davies's award-winning debut collection, \u003ci\u003eThe Ugliest House in the World\u003c\/i\u003e, drew comparisons to the work of Raymond Carver, James Joyce, and V. S. Naipaul. The \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e hailed it as \"astounding . . . Davies has left a unique, definitive footprint in the soil of contemporary short fiction.\" In his new collection, Davies's unforgettable characters--a Chinese son gambling with professional mourners, a mixed-race couple who experience a close encounter--strive for a love that transcends time, race, and sexuality. These are the stories of a sandwich generation--children of one century, adults of the next--caught between debts to their parents and what they owe their own offspring. Shot through with humor and grace, \u003ci\u003eEqual Love\u003c\/i\u003e confirms Davies's reputation as one of his generation's foremost writers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618006991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e L.A.
