Bad dates, bad jobs, and bad situations force these characters to use their wits and wiles to survive. In a voice akin to Lorrie Moore meets Mary Gaitskill, LaBrie has her readers laughing on one page and raging on another. Her voice is memorable, raw, and undeniably skillful. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leapfrog Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948585927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208","brand":"Aimee Labrie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43449028116661,"sku":"9781948585927","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_cd203f0b-2210-47e1-9024-ce69f9367506.jpg?v=1704216653","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/rage-other-cages-9781948585927","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
