Experimental, sometimes surreal in form, they nevertheless concern people who are very real-a color-blind young boy who watches planes in flight and imagines color; a shy stamp collector who speculates that he and his friend, like the stamps, could go anywhere via the U.S. Post Office; an old woman who dies in the cold landscape of her inner life but retains her vision; a cynical woman reluctant to take risks with yet another traveling man.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn spite of life's hard realities, \u003cem\u003e Firesticks\u003c\/em\u003e is filled with humor and hope and a stitching together of cultures, as the crossblood characters search for their identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Glancy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806124903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806124902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.13w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/1993\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Diane Glancy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926247407871,"sku":"9780806124902","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2647fc07-d693-489a-bc3f-c81d4117cf25.jpg?v=1681082017","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/firesticks-5-diane-glancy-9780806124902","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
