A Pulitzer Prize Finalist: This collection of poignant short stories has been described by the San Francisco Chronicle as "a treasure trove of lush scene setting in faraway times and places" (Alexis Burling).
On a life-changing flight, a balloonist makes a startling discovery. In the heart of the Amazon, a telegraph operator finds an unexpected companion. A doctor grapples with seizures that reveal a different, possibly superior, version of himself. And in Regency London, a bare-knuckle fighter prepares to confront his most formidable opponent, while a young mother seeks a miraculous cure for her sick son.
These stories, which include a National Magazine Award and a Pushcart Prize winner, are the culmination of a fifteen-year project. They take readers from the depths of the Nile to the highest reaches of the atmosphere, from volcanic islands to an asylum outside Rio de Janeiro. They explore themes of joy, revelation, and the relentless fight for survival, as noted by the New York Times Magazine, which praised the author as "one of the finest prose stylists in American fiction."
This collection was named a Library Journal Best Book of 2020.
