It teaches without preaching. Here is a marvelously acute sense of what it is like to be on the cusp of adolesence: still innocent but now aware that deeper truths, like larger fish, swim beneath the surface and wait to be caught and revealed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51451184546015,"sku":"9780982440599","price":16.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/Aoq3nTnehp9780982440599.webp?v=1790268814"},{"product_id":"dancing-on-barbed-wire-paperback","title":"Dancing on Barbed Wire - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCo-authors Terry Dalrymple, Jerry Craven and Andrew Geyer deliver the excitement promised in the title and then some as they propel the reader through pages of love, lust, betrayal and redemption. The sixteen interlocked narratives move at a clip through time and space, from the Civil War to the present, from sun-scorched brush country to the lush and sometimes lethal Piney Woods. Although readers may detect shades of Hawthorne and Faulkner in the haunted houses, serial characters, disembodied voices and rattling family skeletons appearing in these stories, their ethos is distinctly Texan, complete with fields of swaying bluebonnets, sprawling ranches, a champion roping horse and plenty of three-alarm chile. The authors deftly sidestep stereotypes, however, instead showcasing such unexpected characters as a cowboy who hates cattle, a parrot that curses mailmen, and a Hill Country farmer who prays to the Roman goddess Fortuna. Reading this story cycle is like doing a jigsaw puzzle--there's no mistaking the satisfaction of snapping that final piece into place and admiring the master narrative that suddenly emerges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67575177871583,"sku":"9780998736440","price":19.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/tkCBlIAr509780998736440.webp?v=1790373064"},{"product_id":"love-stories-sort-of-paperback","title":"Love Stories, Sort Of - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eFar from being chivalric romances, these stories vividly illustrate real people in love, real people like all of us.

Each story deals in some way with a specific visual graphic, and the graphic helps clarify or comments on the story. The stories and the visual art vary from realistic to magical to mystery to science fiction, and some are magical realism. The book contains 33 short stories, one novella, and 77 color graphics. Much of the graphic art incorporates altered images from the Hubble and James Web telescopes. Some few of the stories are presented as poems. Editor Tom Mack explains the interplay of image and story in this book. \"This is a place, both visual and verbal,\" Tom writes, \"where both Jules Verne and Isaac Asimov might feel at home, a place informed by the evolution of modern science fiction and the technological advances that have made possible Jerry Craven's stunning computer-manipulated images.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67575914168543,"sku":"9780998736464","price":46.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/BVNfjNFx1B9780998736464.webp?v=1790376758"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/terry-dalrymple.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
