Maud Casey -- author of The Shape of Things to Come, a New York Times Notable Book -- explores how we survive modern crises of loss and love through the lives of emotional and geographic nomads. Each flirts with madness and self-destruction while reaching toward life. These simple gestures of optimism and vitality, gorgeously rendered, make drastic an unforgettable collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51598854390048,"sku":"NEW0060512555","price":13.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61q3XCyxKOL_d498e69c-2336-4fce-a223-e2883fcdc34b.jpg?v=1779207627","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/drastic-stories-0060512555","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
