She introduces us to a wild assortment of characters: lovelorn Tongan transvestites, charismatic Tanzanian rap stars, precocious Cambodian street kids, out-of-work Dutch prostitutes. In the artful interplay of these eight lively, thoughtful stories, she reveals how all of these diverse lives as well as our own are being inextricably altered by the ever-shrinking world that we share. Because, she writes, to forget the humanity in others is to risk forgetting one's own. 521765 2005 You Can't Get There from Here: A Year on the Fringes of a Shrinking World total:65|5:8|4:26|3:20|2:11|1:0| 65 226 117 20 4 0 false false Thu Mar 05 00:30:57 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 16:23:40 -0800 2009 Thu Mar 05 00:30:57 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jan 07 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 30 15:31:39 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 01 11:50:52 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Nov 21 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 13 09:43:18 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 21 09:42:37 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 28 09:44:39 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 28 10:25:34 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sun Sep 02 17:03:57 -0700 2007 Fri Jan 11 23:45:20 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sat Feb 21 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 12:08:29 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 21 16:54:53 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jul 17 19:34:42 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 19:36:02 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 11:03:42 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 11:03:42 -0700 2009 4 0 true false Sun Sep 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 23 16:37:07 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 23 16:40:26 -0700 2008 1 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sun Oct 11 08:17:06 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 08:17:22 -0700 2009 ]]> 0 0 false false Sun May 31 20:11:01 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 20:11:01 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri May 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 06:07:05 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 21:32:39 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Sep 06 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 02 12:55:08 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 06 16:45:24 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Apr 14 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jan 22 10:34:31 -0800 2008 Mon Apr 14 10:40:26 -0700 2008
