His consummate skill, penetrating wit, and unfailing emotional generosity are on full display in this fine new collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The characters in Michael Nye’s brilliant collection all fight against a central question: what is so tragic about being unremarkable? Their dashed desires become their fuel, their desperation becomes their hope. Home, identity, race, love, loss—these themes reverberate in stories full of yearning, on paths toward selfhood marked by fragmentation. To step into the lives portrayed in \u003ci\u003eUntil We Have Faces\u003c\/i\u003e is to feel, as one character notes, released from a cage after a long incarceration. We believe in their resilience because it is our resilience.”– Carolyn Ferrell, award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eDon’t Erase Me\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51360073318743,"sku":"9781684425068","price":18.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781684425068.jpg?v=1754126584","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/until-we-have-faces-stories-9781684425068","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
