{"product_id":"float-up-sing-down-stories","title":"Float Up, Sing Down: Stories","description":"Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction\n\nLaird Hunt's “revelatory (NYT)” story collection capturing one summer's day in the Indiana community where the beloved National Book Award Finalist Zorrie bloomed.\n\nCandy Wilson has forgotten to buy the paprika. Turner Davis needs to get his zinnias in. Della Dorner told her mother she was going to the Galaxy Swirl, but that's not where she's really headed on her new Schwinn five-speed.\n\nFloat Up, Sing Down is the story of a single day. But in that day, how much teeming life! The residents of this rural town have their routines, their preferences, their joys, grudges, and regrets. Gossip is paramount. Lives are entwined. Retired sheriffs climb corn bins and muse on lost love, French teachers throw firecrackers out of barn windows, and teenagers borrow motorcycles to ride the back roads.\n\nEach of the fourteen stories of Float Up, Sing Down follows one character's day in the life in one of Hunt's most beloved and enduring landscapes. In the tradition of Willa Cather, Sherwood Anderson, Elizabeth Strout, and Edward P. Jones, this is a symphony of souls, a masterful portrait of both loneliness and community by one of our great limners of American experience.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1639730109\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1639730109.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hunt, Laird\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
