The stories are often dark and enveloped in a palpable atmosphere, and the reader feels that something \"big\" is going on in each of these carefully sculpted tales. The award-winning Antarctica is a haunting debut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/span\u003e 03\/15\/2001 pg. 62 (EAN 9780871137791, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/span\u003e 05\/01\/2001 pg. 609 (EAN 9780871137791, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e 06\/18\/2001 pg. 54 (EAN 9780871137791, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 06\/01\/2001 pg. 220 (EAN 9780871137791, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eBooklist\u003c\/span\u003e 06\/01\/2001 pg. 1845 (EAN 9780871137791, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/span\u003e 07\/29\/2001 pg. 10 (EAN 9780871137791, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 03\/15\/2001 (EAN 9780871137791, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keegan, Claire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atlantic Monthly Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2001-07-17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Fiction|Short Stories (single author)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Social life and customs|Southern States|Ireland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780871137791\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780871137791\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Monthly Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52148162330905,"sku":"SP-9780871137791","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9780871137791_spiral.png?v=1774220183","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/antarctica-american","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
