{"product_id":"texas-tall-short-stories-mike-lowrie-9781943492916","title":"Texas Tall Short Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the haunting sensitivity of \"The Piano Tuner\", to the vivid raucousness of \"Texas Clam Bake\", and the wild, sex-and-drugs fantasy of \"The Fishing Trip\", Mike Lowrie takes the reader on a journey through a Texas many readers may not be familiar with. Gone are the cliché cowboys and tumbleweeds of routine Texas fiction from days gone by. Mike Lowrie's Texas stories feature a wide and varied cast of characters and events, such as the day to day goings-on in a major symphony orchestra in \"The Piano Tuner\", or a strong independent woman taking care of herself - and others - in \"She's No Barbie\". Young African American boys are the heroes in \"Good Deeds\". There's even a lesbian biker gang in \"Texas Clam Bake\". Drawing from his own experiences growing up in Texas, the author writes from the perspective of a different character in each story, capturing the essence of a different kind of Texas - and different kinds of Texan. The stories may be tall, but there is a wonderful ring of truth about all of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Lowrie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1943492913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781943492916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ELM Grove Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Mike Lowrie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048712761599,"sku":"9781943492916","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f9021b1-afdc-40a9-b4d3-59687f81ad59.jpg?v=1684997388","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/texas-tall-short-stories-mike-lowrie-9781943492916","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
