{"product_id":"everyone-remain-calm-stories-9780810143944","title":"Everyone Remain Calm: Stories","description":"The stories in \u003ci\u003eEveryone Remain Calm \u003c\/i\u003ereveal landscapes where the surreal and the familiar clash, to visceral effect. A woman yearns for--and dreads--the snowfall that arrives whenever her ex-boyfriend returns to the home she shares with their son. Another character reassures herself after breakups by seeking out the monster under her bed, the Incredible Hulk himself, for rebound sex that can be hot, heavy, and unnerving. Marching bands blare all the way from New Orleans to the Midwest. There are wild shootouts, rising tides, and perils embedded in the act of storytelling itself. \"There are words that can kill you if you're not careful,\" Stielstra writes. And the stories we tell ourselves are the most fantastic tales of all. \u003ci\u003eEveryone Remain Calm\u003c\/i\u003e is eerie, hilarious, moving, and down-to-earth, even as its characters defy the rules--sometimes in the ways we wish we could.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-6273749\"\u003eMegan Stielstra\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.06w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810143944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810143941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC044000\"\u003eWomen\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMEGAN STIELSTRA\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Wrong Way to Save Your Life\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the 2017 Book of the Year Award from the \u003ci\u003eChicago Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as \u003ci\u003eEveryone Remain Calm\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOnce I Was Cool\u003c\/i\u003e (both reissued by Northwestern University Press).
