These stories re-imagine Midwestern American lives in scenes ranging from dysfunctional realism to fantastical musings on selling facial features. Each story asks us to examine ourselves-our sexual desires, ambitions, and outcomes-in a mirror world that feels like it is crumbling around us in real time. All of the stories challenge the limits of ordinary life with subtlety of thought, humor, and grace in language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Guerin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1937484815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781937484811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amika Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2021","brand":"Christopher Guerin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800634306815,"sku":"9781937484811","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-story-of-my-universe-christopher-guerin-9781937484811","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
