In \"belly,\" a young woman abandoned by her only living relative makes a person from the mud beside her backyard creek. In \"We Feel it in Punta Cana,\" a domestic child servant in the Dominican Republic tours through his own lush imagination to make his material conditions more bearable. In \"The Oldest Sensation is Anger,\" a teenager invites a same-aged family friend into her apartment and uncovers a spate of disturbing secrets about her. Written in a mixture of high lyricism, absurdist comedy, and Haitian cultural witticisms, this is a collection whose dynamism matches that of its characters at every beat and turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 7.9 x 4.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 19, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50403545055469,"sku":"9781636281056","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/you-were-watching-from-the-sand-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
