Allen's fierce first collection, \u003ci\u003eA Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes\u003c\/i\u003e, the extraordinary emerges from the everyday. Allen's stories are informed by the vast landscapes of New Mexico and Texas, and in them the mythic and the mundane intertwine: two neighbors burn a grandson's letters from Vietnam in a backyard grill; a child vanishes into the maze of Albuquerque's fabled Alvarado Hotel; a sculptor meets her younger self in the eerie stillness of a theater lobby. These are only a few of the unforgettable, mysterious moments that mark the arrival of a bold new voice in contemporary Southwest fiction.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50102240411871,"sku":"9780826369277","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/QtjjvSTiI19780826369277.webp?v=1781079201"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/nancy-j-allen.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
