The first and most obvious characteristic of fiction is that it deals with reality through what can be seen, heard, smelt, tasted, and touched.' Doug Lawson's story collection is a banquet for the senses, though the winds of change are often chilly enough to make us shiver, and what is served up is there not only to sustain us, but to surprise us. His characters are contemporary, but their struggles are timeless. A \u003ci\u003ePatrimony of Fishes\u003c\/i\u003e contains some beautiful descriptions of the physical world, paired with some disconcerting observations about the ways of the heart. It's a wonderful collection.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e--Ann Beattie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Doug Lawson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1888996048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781888996043\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Hen Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.20d","brand":"Doug Lawson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474257658111,"sku":"9781888996043","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52e969d2-6771-49a6-817e-5ecebda9f000.jpg?v=1762315695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-patrimony-of-fishes-doug-lawson-9781888996043","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
