Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Many of these richly layered stories juxtapose the miracles of modern medicine against the inescapable frustrations of everyday life: awkward first dates, the indignities of air travel, and overwhelming megastore cereal aisles.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - WINNER OF THE 2016 DRUE HEINZ LITERATURE PRIZE Winner of the 2017 California Book Awards, first fiction category Many of these richly layered stories juxtapose the miracles of modern medicine against the inescapable frustrations of everyday life: awkward first dates, the indignities of air travel, and overwhelming megastore cereal aisles. In 'Go Forth,' an aging couple attends a kidney transplant reunion, where donors and recipients collide with unexpected results; in 'Hounds,' a woman who runs a facial reconstruction program for veterans nurses her dying dog while recounting the ways she has used sex as both a weapon and a salve; and in 'Consider this Case,' a lonely fetal surgeon caring for his aesthete father must reconsider sexuality and the lengths people will go to have children.
