{"product_id":"sky-over-el-nido-stories-9780820321196","title":"Sky Over El Nido: Stories","description":"\"Mother rescued the three zebras that escaped from the London zoo\"--so begins the first story in this whirlwind collection by C. M. Mayo. Though Mayo's characters ricochet around the globe in search of diversion, money, enlightenment, cachet, and escape, she sets many of the stories in \u003ci\u003eSky Over El Nido\u003c\/i\u003e in Mexico. This is not the gringo's Mexico of margaritas, mariachis, and inscrutable house servants, but a fin-de-si cle world where a Mexican boy who guards tourists' cars for small change wears a T-shirt that says \"Six Flags Over Georgia.\" Mayo's strangely beautiful yet disturbing stories reveal characters who envision the solutions to their lives in a world where nothing is stable, nothing can be nailed down, and we are all suddenly, dizzyingly faced with sharing the same pitiless sky.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820321196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.09w x 0.54d","brand":"C.
