Hearts bigger than planets devour light and warp the space around them; the city of London has a menstrual flow that gushes through its underground pipes; gobs of phlegm cement friendships and sexual relationships; and a floating fetus larger than a human becomes the new town pastor. In this debut story collection, Shelley Jackson rewrites our private passages, and translates the dumb show of the body into prose as gorgeous as it is unhygienic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385721202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.94h x 5.30w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/18\/2002 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2002 pg. 1306\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/12\/2002 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Shelley Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43291126333621,"sku":"9780385721202","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5c38d02e-74f9-4091-8b22-1e4030d2e655.jpg?v=1700540316","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-melancholy-of-anatomy-stories-9780385721202","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
