Description

This master story collection is united by the theme of longing in all its forms - for change, for redemption, for travel outside the bounds of daily life to realms where anything seems possible --. Within the remarkable "Why China?" a guy drags his family for the province in a determined make an effort to recover his lost ethics, simply to discover herself more reomte and mystical compared to location where his trip brought. In configurations as unique as Kenya and Bora Bora, as attractive as downtown Manhattan, or as common as suburban Illinois, Egan's figures--versions, housewives, schoolgirls--find trancendence of the edges of wish, and change of your nature and body."
