| 520 | |a "Dive into a dazzling collection of short fiction from Alix E. Harrow, the New York Times bestselling author of The Everlasting and Starling House. These are stories about the past as it wasn't quite, but might have been--or could still be. These are stories about dreamers and liars and lovers and ghosts; people just like you. These are stories about places the world has seen, and some that hide just beyond the periphery of possibility. Most of all, these are stories for anyone who ever wanted more. What's a legend, except a history told slantwise?"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
| 520 | |a Before I was a liar I was a historian, which is a kind of storyteller who doesn't make any money and likes footnotes. These are stories about the past as it wasn't quite, but might have been, from ancient battlefields all the way up through roadside attractions off I-70. They're about the people caught in the mean jaws of history: the women and workers, the soldiers and mothers, everyone shoved into the margins of the world. But these aren't singular tragedies--these are the stories of the ones that got away. The ones who defected and dissented, who broke the rules, who ran and tossed a match behind them. | ||
