In Howl Palace--winner of \u003ci\u003eThe Paris Review\u003c\/i\u003e's Terry Southern Prize, a Best American Short Story, and Pushcart Prize selection--an aging widow struggles with a rogue hunting dog and the memories of her five ex-husbands while selling her house after bankruptcy. In the title story, Nobody Gets Out Alive, newly married Katrina visits her hometown of Anchorage and blows up her own wedding reception by flirting with the host and running off with an enormous mastodon tusk. Alongside stories set in today's Last Frontier--rife with suburban sprawl, global warming, and opioid addiction--Newman delves into remote wilderness of the 1970s and 80s, bringing to life young girls and single moms in search of a wilder, freer, more adventurous America. The final story takes place in a railroad camp in 1915, where an outspoken heiress stages an elaborate theatrical in order to seduce the wife of her husband's employer, revealing how this masterful storyteller is not only writing unforgettable, brilliantly complex characters, she's somehow inventing souls (Kimberly King Parsons, author of \u003ci\u003eBlack Light\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leigh Newman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1797139207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781797139203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster Audio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.60h x 5.70w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e National Book Awards - Nominee","brand":"Leigh Newman","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":43945261793535,"sku":"9781797139203","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e81986fa-0366-4615-87e1-c559d19b771d.jpg?v=1681507728","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nobody-gets-out-alive-leigh-newman-9781797139203","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
