This surreal, precise collection unfolds in a world beyond conventional time and space. Concerned with theft, shame, exile, tourism, masochism, God, and \"Nature,\" these stories are lightly linked--objects, diseases, and landscapes reappear. Gleason's elliptical prose refuses traditional narrative logic, resisting easy resolution. Reminiscent of the work of Anna Kavan, Jane Bowles, and Marie NDiaye, \u003ci\u003eThe Wallet and Other Thefts\u003c\/i\u003e is a work of slipstream fiction that pulses with a sense of something generously withheld.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Fonograf Editions","offers":[{"title":"The Wallet and Other Thefts | Kristen Gleason | Paperback | 9781964499673 | New | Fiction 1760962","offer_id":49229588856984,"sku":"1760962","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71URSx7PWML.jpg?v=1781219414","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/the-wallet-and-other-thefts","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
