{"product_id":"trailer-girl-and-other-stories-terese-svoboda-9781582430850","title":"Trailer Girl and Other Stories","description":"\"I talk like a lady who knows what she wants\" is how the vagrant begins her story in \"Trailer Girl\". As she struggles to rescue what she says is a wild girl hiding in the gully, the neighbors become more certain than ever that the child is imaginary--until there's a murder. Stark and disturbing, \"Trailer Girl\" is the story of cycles of child abuse and the dream to escape them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \"Psychic\", a clairvoyant knows she's been hired by a murderer, in \"Leadership\" a tiny spaceship lands between a boy and his parents, in \"Venice\", a woman performs the Heimlich maneuver on an ex-husband, then flees by gondola, and in \"White\", a grandfather explains to his grandson how a family is like a collection of chicken parts. Frequently violent, always passionate, these often short short stories are full-strength, as strong and precise as poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terese Svoboda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1582430853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781582430850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Catapult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.84h x 5.90w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2001 pg. 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMademoiselle\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2001 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/12\/2001 pg. 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/11\/2001 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2001 pg. 1356\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/20\/2001 pg. 66","brand":"Terese Svoboda","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44138632216831,"sku":"9781582430850","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3359d51-c14c-4bec-a954-0cc112b8379a.jpg?v=1687900717","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trailer-girl-and-other-stories-terese-svoboda-9781582430850","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
