Beneath a huge artificial dome that blocks out the stars, hierarchically stashed on nine subterranean levels with computer-controlled simulations of weather and seasonal change, the citizens of this grim, bureaucracy-ridden sardine tin . . . contrive not just to endure but to prevail. Through 70 years of increasing repression, various free spirts turn a living cubicle into a facsimile of a starship in deep space, experiment with multipartner 'marriages' for the elderly, or dearly earn moments of mutual benison with an unwanted cubicle-mate. . . . bearing witness to the weedlike survival of human instinct and aspiration in the most confining and programmed environment.\"  from \u003cem\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Bishop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 193384678X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781933846781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fairwood Press LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.04d","brand":"Michael Bishop","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983824060671,"sku":"9781933846781","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d150390-7261-4ccb-b032-369b72f1912d.jpg?v=1683268934","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-city-and-the-cygnets-michael-bishop-9781933846781","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
