| Description: | Select Guide Rating A stunning collection of short stories from the bestselling, award-winning author of The Winter Soldier and The Piano Tuner. <p><b>*Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2021**</b><br><br><b>From Daniel Mason, the bestselling, award-winning author of <i>The Winter Soldier </i>and <i>The Piano Tuner </i>comes a collection of interlacing tales of men and women as they face the mysteries and magic of the world.</b><br><br>On a fated flight, a balloonist makes a discovery that changes her life forever. A telegraph operator finds an unexpected companion in the middle of the Amazon. A doctor is beset by seizures, in which he is possessed by a second, perhaps better, version of himself. And in Regency London, a bare-knuckle fighter prepares to face his most fearsome opponent, while a young mother seeks a miraculous cure for her ailing son.<br><br>At times funny and irreverent, always moving, these stories cap a fifteen-year project that has won both a National Magazine Award and Pushcart Prize. From the Nile’s depths to the highest reaches of the atmosphere, from volcano-wracked islands to an asylum on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, these are lives of ecstasy and epiphany.</p> |
