In these stories Martone shows us how traveling across time zones from Ohio to Indiana is a form of time travel; how a beer bottle can serve as a kind of telescope, how Amish might power their spaceships with windmills as they travel through space and time. These stories capture the paradox of feeling that one is in the heart of the country while at the same time in the middle of nowhere, of natives who find themselves strangers in their once familiar, but now strange, lands. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e On display is a love of obsolete technologies, small-town whimsy, home movies of proms and birthday parties, steam engines and baseball games. If Italo Calvino lived in Indiana rather than Italy, these are the fictions he might have made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Martone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 157366068X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781573660686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e F2c\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Michael Martone","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44149629747455,"sku":"9781573660686","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e5cd8de9-dd81-4fec-b36a-13f67f9d8ec9.jpg?v=1688457716","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-moon-over-wapakoneta-michael-martone-9781573660686","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
