RUIN is both bracingly timely and eerily timeless in its examination of an American state in free - fall unsparing in its disregard for broken institutions while shining with compassion for all who are left in their wake. Cara Hoffman's short fictions are brutal surreal hilarious and transgressive celebrating the sharp beauty of outsiders and the infinitely creative ways humans muster psychic resistance under oppressive conditions. The ultimate effect of these ten interconnected stories is one of invigoration and a sense of possibilities hope for a new world extracted from the rubble of the old.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Ruin\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Hoffman Cara\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Pm Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781629639291\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 128 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 4\/5\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Modern \u0026amp; Contemporary Fiction","brand":"Hoffman Cara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49622064365873,"sku":"IN-G-9781629639291","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781629639291.jpg?v=1724717500","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781629639291-ruin","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
