{"product_id":"where-to-carry-the-sound-volume-23-9781574419498","title":"Where to Carry the Sound: Volume 23","description":"\u003cp\u003e The stories in \u003ci\u003eWhere to Carry the Sound\u003c\/i\u003e center on characters excavating their own lives: unearthing family secrets, exploring inherited silences, and rediscovering what might have seemed lost to them. Wherever these characters find themselves--including brewing bootleg liquor in Prohibition-era Bombay, finding remnants of a new language at an archaeological dig in Andhra Pradesh, seeking mirages above the Arctic Circle, or setting up an outpost on the moon--each seeks to reconcile a past continually bleeding into the present and to forge a path of belonging to carry them into the future. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"This collection of nine magical stories (including a few actual fairy tales) enchanted me. Many of the stories are set in India, and most of the narrators are women--photographers, bootleggers, archeologists, religious pilgrims, perfumers, and one lonely lunar caretaker. The writing is both lush and lean, and the images of marigolds, haunted villages, and man-killing tigers are memorable. The ends aren't always happily-ever-after but are always satisfying. \u003ci\u003eWhere to Carry the Sound\u003c\/i\u003e is a delight to read.\"--Molly Giles, judge and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Home for Unwed Husbands\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781574419498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224","brand":"Nina Sudhakar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44637739417781,"sku":"9781574419498","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_cff0ce2f-ac64-43d6-8a98-bee64a24a979.jpg?v=1726582492","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/where-to-carry-the-sound-volume-23-9781574419498","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
