Its characters flutter and flap, take off and land, then take off again as they seek the places they belong. These are characters caught in transition: a widow searching for a past self on an \"Impossible Blue\" coast, lovers explaining to the police and themselves why they're hiding in a Nebraska cornfield, a teacher on a flight from Chengdu struggling to be understood, a stranded artist accepting a ride from a stranger on a highway haunted by the ghost of a woman who never made it home. Each story is a transformation as Craig turns railroad tracks into an \"infinite number line\" and a lightning bolt into a \"tentacle of the unseen.\" A plastic fork becomes a parable of fragility, and a \"scrap moon\" is an image of what is lost and what yet remains. Even a single word captures longing, instinct, regret, and stubborn hope: \"Fly, fly, fly.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 164\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 27, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47466286022877,"sku":"9781950413515","price":31.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/ZExsaEhKTUNWc1czMzNsLzNKYWtVQT09_e8db2bc4-400e-4bcb-9717-84a108e4894f.webp?v=1771666553","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/wings-other-things-stories-paperback-3","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
