All along Q Road--or \"Queer Road,\" as the locals call it--the old, rural life collides weirdly with the new. With a cast of lovingly rendered eccentrics and a powerful sense of place, Q Road is a lively tale of nature and human desire that alters the landscape of contemporary fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBonnie Jo Campbell\u003c\/b\u003e has won a Pushcart Prize, as well as the Associated Writing Programs Award in short fiction for her story collection, \u003ci\u003eWomen and Other Animals.\u003c\/i\u003e She lives a few miles from where she was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 19, 2003\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47228988981497,"sku":"9780743203661","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/VWt1NUxxb1BaanY3bDVVUGhEZmRkUT09.webp?v=1768296959","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/q-road-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
