Couples counseling with Marzana, her girlfriend's ghost, might not be enough to resolve past indiscretions; our heroine could need a death goddess ritual or two. Plus, Hoofy's not sure if his missing scam-artist boyfriend was picked up by the cops, or by that pretty blonde, their last mark. When Jan takes a room at Plague House, her first year of university takes an unexpected turn--into anarcho-politics and direct action, gender studies and late-night shenanigans with Saffy, her captivating yet cagey housemate.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e From the lovelorn Mary Louise, who struggles with butch bachelorhood, to rural teens finding--and found by--adult sexualities, to Grimm's \"The Golden Goose\" rendered as a jazz dance spectacle, Kristyn Dunnion's freewheeling collection fosters a radical revisioning of community. Dunnion goes wherever there's a story to tell--and then, out of whispers and shouts, echoes and snippets, gritty realism and speculative fiction, illuminates the delicate strands that hold us all together.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Biblioasis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771963862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Kristyn Dunnion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36668357083292,"sku":"9781771963862","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_78fd649c-5594-4691-9748-b1f986a1e2a4.jpg?v=1603917316","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/stoop-city-9781771963862","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
