{"product_id":"mad-country-samrat-upadhyay-9781616957964","title":"Mad Country","description":"Samrat Upadhyay's new collection vibrates at the edges of intersecting cultures. Journalists in Kathmandu are targeted by the government. A Nepali man studying in America drops out of school and finds himself a part of the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri. A white American woman moves to Nepal and changes her name. A Nepali man falls in love with a mysterious foreign black woman. A rich kid is caught up in his own fantasies of poverty and bank robbery. In the title story, a powerful woman, the owner of a construction company, becomes a political prisoner, and in stark and unflinching prose we see both her world and her mind radically remade. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough the course of the stories in this collection, Upadhyay builds new modes of seeing our interconnected contemporary world. A collection of formal inventiveness, heartbreak and hope, it reaffirms Upadhyay's position as one or our most important chroniclers of globalization and exile.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samrat Upadhyay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1616957964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781616957964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Soho Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2017 pg. 27\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2017 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/09\/2017","brand":"Samrat Upadhyay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46383940403455,"sku":"9781616957964","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_75dc3461-2668-48ff-9278-d0937981ee71.jpg?v=1733282148","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mad-country-samrat-upadhyay-9781616957964","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
