Sinossi
The first of a proposed series of three novels set in the Pacific North-WestAn unsettling, always surprising, funny, and moving novel of manners, money, and morals, Waxwings is set in Seattle at the turn of the millennium, when the high-tech Gold Rush threatens to overwhelm the actual world with its myriad virtual alternatives. In a city where everyone appears to come from somewhere else, and where anyone holding stock options expects to become someone else, the conflicting desires of everyday life are exaggerated beyond reckoning.Two hopeful new immigrants are drawn to Seattle by more traditional versions of the American Dream. For Tom Janeway - a Hungarian-born Englishman most at home with books - it is the family he thought he'd never have. For an illegal alien-Chick, as he comes to call himself not long after escaping a cargo container - it is the land of opportunity he'd imagined back in Fujian province. Waxwings is a story about two men, each searching for a place they can call their own, a space where they can be themselves.

paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Codice articolo mon0000048866
