Expecting nothing but tedium and a $600 stipend, Graham instead gets a surprise job offer he can neither accept nor decline, develops a sudden infatuation he can neither pursue nor ignore, and unwittingly enters into an absurd power struggle that could render him a pariah within his own family and ancestral community. \u003cem\u003eHorizontal Rust\u003c\/em\u003e, the debut novel by Ned Russin of the bands Title Fight and Glitterer, is a story about trying to understand boredom, abstract expressionism, family, personal narratives, and Wilkes-Barre. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003e[Horizontal Rust's]\u003c\/em\u003e offbeat realism offers readers much to consider.\" - \u003cem\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ned Russin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1736499106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781736499108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shining Life\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Ned Russin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057687720191,"sku":"9781736499108","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_007e3ab8-eaa5-4e5b-83dd-ba23bf73a93f.jpg?v=1685048378","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/horizontal-rust-ned-russin-9781736499108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
