Everywhere Stories: Short Fiction from a Small Planet
ISBN: 9781941209110 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Travel invigorates and enlightens, and so does reading. You don't have to go to the Congo to gain an understanding of the challenges women face there. You don't have to go to Costa Rica to learn about resentment toward fly-by evangelism. You don't have to go to Iran to sample Persian culture and anguish.

What the Zhang Boys Know
ISBN: 9781935708612 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "What the Zhang Boys Know has a dozen chapters, each one a vivid short story in itself. Garstang makes the whole greater than the sum of its parts. The lives of the inhabitants of a condominium in Washington, D.C.'s Chinatown are told separately and as part of a web of entanglements. The entrances and exits are handled with the deftness of a French comedy, but the empathy of the author brings all the characters achingly alive. What the Zhang Boys Know is a wonderful and haunting book." - John Casey, author of Compass Rose and Spartina, winner of the National Book Award
