{"product_id":"red-ant-house-9780618269259","title":"Red Ant House","description":"\u003cp\u003eDenis Johnson meets Flannery O'Connor in this luminous collection of short stories about the collision of cultures, genders, and generations in the American Southwest. Set mainly amid Indian reservations and uranium mills, these twelve stories create a kaleidoscopic view of family, myth, love, landscape, and loss in a place where infinite skies and endless roads suggest a world of possibility, yet dreams are deceiving, like an oasis, just beyond reach. Whether it's a young woman pushed quite literally to the edge on a desolate mountain pass, an orphaned brother and sister trying to patch together an existence one stitch at a time, a cop who suspects his kleptomaniac wife is stealing from other people -- materially and emotionally -- or a wily roadside hypnotist whose alleged power is both wonderful and strange, Ann Cummins's characters want to transcend the circumstances of their lives, to believe in the eventuality of change.\u003cbr\u003e Again and again, Ann Cummins generates imagery of white-hot intensity and pushes the limits of both the human spirit and the short story form. Gritty, seductive, and always daring, this unforgettable collection puts forth a haunting new vision of hope and heartache in contemporary America and confirms the arrival of an important new voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Cummins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.54w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618269259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2003 pg. 159\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2003 pg. 1375\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/11\/2003 pg. 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/07\/2003 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/06\/2003 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/05\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCummins, Ann:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Ann Cummins is a graduate of the Johns Hopkins University and the University of Arizona writing programs.
