{"product_id":"carbine-greg-mulcahy-9781558498181","title":"Carbine: Stories","description":"Inhabiting a world that offers no guarantee of any veracity, the characters in these peculiar stories are driven to and goaded by compulsive and perhaps pointless reflection. They are haunted by unrelenting consciousness and knowledge of failure, yet are, at best, ambivalent toward any conventional equation of success. Theirs is a world of broken relationships, futile memory, constant appetite, and the certain knowledge that they are winding down in a culture in which it is impossible to do-or know-the right thing. Frustrated and obsessed, they cannot articulate their lives and are entranced by the strangeness of the everyday. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written with keen intelligence and biting humor, \u003ci\u003eCarbine\u003c\/i\u003e is a book about the ridiculousness of contemporary life-a book about what cannot be said.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Mulcahy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1558498184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781558498181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Massachusetts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/26\/2010 pg. 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/16\/2010","brand":"Greg Mulcahy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058601357567,"sku":"9781558498181","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_85f73222-fbb3-43f6-9a8f-4a1569c81317.jpg?v=1685053489","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/carbine-greg-mulcahy-9781558498181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
