false 3487615 1 This year Rikki Ducornet is being presented with a lifetime achievement award by the American Academy of Arts and Letters for her beloved work as a novelist and essayist, but perhaps most of all for her work as a writer of short stories. In the tradition of Italo Calvino, Donald Barthelme, and Angela Carter, Ducornet creates modern-day fables filled with characters as complex and surprising as any in American short fiction. This landmark collection of new stories is generously illustrated by T. Motley, whose gritty, fantastical cartooning explores the same post-magical realism that has been the subject of Ducornet's distinguished career. 3529037 17 11 2008 The One Marvelous Thing (American Literature) total:20|5:4|4:8|3:6|2:2|1:0| 20 74 46 5 4 0 false false Thu Jan 15 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 22:14:54 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 22:14:54 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Jan 31 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 12:13:48 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 12:19:16 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Sep 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 13:08:29 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 16:49:23 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Dec 19 22:09:59 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 03 11:06:13 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 02 18:40:12 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 21 12:51:51 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 13 15:35:11 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 15:35:11 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Wed Oct 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 17:27:44 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 09:50:21 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Sep 19 18:59:13 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 20:35:06 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Aug 04 19:58:02 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 19:58:02 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Jul 13 17:38:41 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 17:38:41 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jul 13 14:31:09 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 14:31:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 06 14:48:39 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 14:48:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 01 07:55:59 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 07:55:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 18 23:18:58 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 23:18:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 28 09:18:27 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 09:18:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 21 17:10:17 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 17:10:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 21 14:46:15 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 14:46:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 21 08:02:02 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 08:02:02 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu May 14 12:47:34 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 12:47:34 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon May 11 17:42:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 17:42:04 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3487615
