The book explores the larger and more fundamental issues of life, death, love, and desire, and further interrogates the inter-relationships between the individual, the other, and the world. Each character in the stories must struggle to understand the meaning of his or her encounters and translate them into gains in their lives if they are to truly grow and arrive at themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zhen Wen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626430853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626430853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bridge 21 Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Zhen Wen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44790476079359,"sku":"9781626430853","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1ea17ce-1fd3-4002-afb2-c4115a9a8be8.jpg?v=1707289052","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nothing-but-the-now-zhen-wen-9781626430853","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
