Brett Garcia Rose (brettgarciarose) | 8 comments I've tried manually adding this book but the system says the isbn is already being used by my other book (Noise). I have double-checked and this is not the case.

“We’re all broken, and the scars we trade are all that remain of our fragile, once complex lives.”

Losing Found Things is the raw, unforgettable debut collection of fifteen short stories from award-winning writer and novelist Brett Garcia Rose, who takes readers past what lies on the surface and into the darkest corners of human experience.

A young man boards a cruise ship planning to jump, and finds an unlikely ally waiting at the railing. A brother and sister slip away from the moving van waiting in their driveway in order to visit their favorite place one last time. Animal rights workers break into a research facility, but the rescue doesn’t go as planned. A therapist with her own issues answers suspicious questions about a one night stand. An artist tries to hold onto his fragile, impossibly beautiful model girlfriend as fame pulls her away.

Couples watch the gathering twilights of their love, armed men wait in the woods, lonely people disappear in crowded clubs and city streets. This is the stark world of Brett Garcia Rose, who greets readers with his own autobiographical story “The Spoken World,” which has appeared in multiple anthologies, was nominated for both Best of the Net and The Pushcart Prize, and won the Fiction Attic Short Memoir Contest.

Brett Garcia Rose (brettgarciarose) | 8 comments Thanks Jenny! I see it. There's another phantom copy of the same book with no cover that I think should be removed.

Melaslithos | 1360 comments Hi,

It looks like a valid entry to me.
(see http://openisbn.com/isbn/0991549430/).

I added the cover and combined it with the other books.

Although I do have a doubt and am wondering if it should be merged with the other Kindle edition?

There is a duplicate, but it's the ebook, not the Kindle edition. (The so-called Kindle with an ISBN is actually an ebook. Edited.)

Merging now.

And there exists a second Kindle edition (with a different ASIN), but until/unless a user asks for it to be added or the import brings it in, I think we'll stick with one for now.
