From Key West to Maine, Michael Carroll's debut collection of stories depicts the lives of characters who are no longer provincial but are not yet cosmopolitan. These women and their gay male friends are \"B-listers\" of a new, ironic, media-soaked culture. They live in a rich but increasingly divided America, a weirdly paradoxical country increasingly accepting of gay marriage but still marked by prejudice, religious strictures, and swaths of poverty and hopelessness. Carroll shows us people stunned by the shock of the now, who have forgotten their pasts and can't envision a future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Winner, Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction, American Academy of Arts and Letters \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Finalist, Gay Fiction, Lambda Literary Award \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Finalist, Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction, Publishing Triangle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299297404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.66w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lambda Literary Awards - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Triangle Awards - Finalist","brand":"Michael Carroll","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41285356880053,"sku":"9780299297404","price":22.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_bc873226-3800-4d11-aff0-76fba046818c.jpg?v=1635224259","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/little-reef-and-other-stories-9780299297404","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
