Texas 5 X 5: Twenty-Five Stories by Five Texas Writers
ISBN: 9781622880584 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume consists of twenty-five stories, five each by five Texas writers.

These stories accomplish what solid fiction should in offering thoughts about the more profound ideas we ponder:... This volume consists of twenty-five stories, five each by five Texas writers. Except for the five points of the Texas Lone Star, there's nothing parti...
