{"product_id":"the-fight-for-space-roberto-ontiveros-9781622882267","title":"The Fight for Space","description":"In his debut collection, \u003ci\u003eThe Fight for Space\u003c\/i\u003e, Roberto Ontiveros explores the modes of art and obsession with eleven stories that run from fabulist comedy to surrealist noir. The tales--focusing on the inner lives of adult caregivers, delivery drivers, and painters--trace how the ubiquity of media (the world of sitcoms, talk radio, and superhero comics) comes to flood the working class with a dream-like dread. In this book, a budding con artist tries to sell a house that does not belong to her, an anti-social memoirist pens the fates of his friends, and a comic book-obsessed warehouse employee follows a man who wears a gas mask. Atmospheric and erotic, the stories in \u003ci\u003eThe Fight for Space\u003c\/i\u003e, recall the literary mysteries of James M. Cain by way of Twin Peaks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roberto Ontiveros\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1622882261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781622882267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen F.
