Now, in its last issue, this unique literary project ponders all the ways of reaching a fitting conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Sayaka Murata, keeping up with the comings and goings of fashion and its changing emotional landscapes can mean being left behind, while in her poem \"Amenorrhea,\" Julia Alvarez experiences the end of a line as menstruation ceases. Yet sometimes an end is merely a beginning, as Barry Lopez meditates while walking through the snowy Oregonian landscapes. While Chinelo Okparanta's story \"Fatu\" confronts the end of a relationship under the specter of new life, other writers look towards aging as an opportunity for rebirth, such as Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, who takes on the role of being her own elder, comforting herself in the ways that her grandmother used to. Finally, in his comic story \"Everyone at Dinner Has a Max von Sydow Story,\" Dave Eggers suggests that sometimes stories don't have neat or clean endings--that sometimes the middle is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith new writing from Sandra Cisneros, Colum McCann, Omar El Akkad, and Mieko Kawakami, \u003ci\u003eFreeman's: Conclusions\u003c\/i\u003e is a testament to the startling power of literature to conclude in a state of beauty, fear, and promise. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Freeman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802161475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2023","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41169206280307,"sku":"9.7808E+12","price":19.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_9080bd18-7687-449e-b18a-4a0debdab19c.jpg?v=1703084875","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/freemans-conclusions-9780802161475","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
