In \"belly,\" a young woman abandoned by her only living relative makes a person from the mud beside her backyard creek. In \"We Feel it in Punta Cana,\" a domestic child servant in the Dominican Republic tours through his own lush imagination to make his material conditions more bearable. In \"The Oldest Sensation is Anger,\" a teenager invites a same-aged family friend into her apartment and uncovers a spate of disturbing secrets about her. Written in a mixture of high lyricism, absurdist comedy, and Haitian cultural witticisms, this is a collection whose dynamism matches that of its characters at every beat and turn.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47922334924958,"sku":"ING-9781636282565","price":48.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781636282565.jpg?v=1782888957","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781636282565","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
