The world is always in motion--both toward and away from us--and it is also full of risk: from sharks unexpectedly lurking beneath estuarial rivers to the dangers of New York City, where, as Lim reminds us, even rats find themselves trapped by the garbage cans they've crawled into. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn such a world, how should one proceed? Throughout \u003cem\u003eSharks in the Rivers\u003c\/em\u003e, Lim suggests that we must cleave to the world as it \"keep[s] opening before us,\" for, if we pay attention, we can be one with its complex, ephemeral, and beautiful strangeness. Loss is perpetual, and each person's mouth \"is the same \/ mouth as everyone's, all trying to say the same thing.\" For Lim, it's the saying--individual and collective -- that transforms each of us into \"a wound overcome by wonder,\" that allows \"the wind itself\" to be our \"own wild whisper.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ada Lim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1571314385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571314383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/28\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2010 pg. 84","brand":"Ada Lim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051963805951,"sku":"9781571314383","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e0b6a5e5-b4b3-423b-b99e-1b9c932bbc65.jpg?v=1685016201","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sharks-in-the-rivers-ada-lim-n-9781571314383","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
