In these seven tales Crace travels a strange and wonderful landscape: \"Talking Skull\" takes the reader to a tiny agricultural village renowned for the sexually-charged, mystical milk of its calves; \"Electricity\" introduces a remote flatland region where a monumental ceiling fan changes an entire town's attitude toward modernization. From the acacia scrub of the flatlands to a city bazaar jammed with vegetable stalls, tourists, and beggars, Crace's invented world is as fabulous as it is eerily familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Crace\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0062662406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062662408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Jim Crace","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44522237755647,"sku":"9780062662408","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_833fa333-34d6-4c38-a119-81ca55664f4f.jpg?v=1700156224","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/continent-jim-crace-9780062662408","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
