Fueled by an abiding sense of loss, these eight stories take you on a journey over the exploded fault lines of intimacy, unfolding across cities and continents. Whether hitchhiking the Italian Veneto, trekking through a pitch-black Balinese rice field, or queuing for drinks in a crowded Seattle bar, Geoghegan sets her characters adrift in a world that stakes its claim to the enigmatic terrain of desire. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This collection of darkly comic, occasionally violent, tales is anchored by the eponymous \"eightball,\" a coming of age novella about a sister and brother guided by the inertia of recklessness and self-destruction. A protégé of the late Lucia Berlin, Elizabeth Geoghegan writes lyric, place-driven prose laced with edgy realism and wry wit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Geoghegan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 193965095X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781939650955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Santa Fe Writer's Project\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2019","brand":"Elizabeth Geoghegan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937679278335,"sku":"9781939650955","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_220ccc34-7a56-4b9d-8371-c756708c3ce3.jpg?v=1681431425","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eightball-elizabeth-geoghegan-9781939650955","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
