This is coal and steel country. The sort of place where an inch of soot on the windowsill means a regular paycheckand two inches means a fat one. And whats the best make-out spot in town? Next to the burning slag heap.</p><p>In seventeen beguiling, linked stories, spanning fourty-five years, Monk brings a corner of America alive as never before. Her world bursts with indelible characters: Mrs. Szilborski, who bakes great cake, but sprays her neighbors dogs with mace; and Mrs. Wojic, who believes her husband was reincarnatedas one of those dogs. Then there is the younger generation: Annie Kusiak , who wants to write, and Theresa Gojuk, who dreams of stardom. Cokesville is their Yoknapatawpha; they ache to escape it and the ghosts of their ancestors and the regret of their parents. What ghostsand what regrets! When Theresas father Bruno falls into a vat of molten steel, the mill gives the family an ingot roughly his weight to bury.</p><p>As deliciously wry as Allegra Goodman in <em>The Family Markowitz</em>, and with the matter-of-fact humanity of Grace Paley, Bathsheba Monk leads us into a world that is at once totally surprising and recognizable. These stories glow like molten steel.</p>...2265027Now You See It . . .206251https://www.gandhi.com.mx/now-you-see-it-------9781429967389/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2058798/b522cfb7-0544-4079-b97d-f03d7225ced9.jpg?v=638683034464700000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20039781429967389_W3siaWQiOiJkZWEyNTMzOS1lZDgxLTRlZWEtOTFkZC03YzQ0NWY3ZGNkY2YiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI1MSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjQ1LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIwNiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDItMjdUMjM6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781429967389_<p>Its pretty much a straight shot from the upstate New York towns of Richard Russos books to Bathsheba Monks Cokesville, PA.
