In these seven tales Crace travels a strange and wonderful landscape: \"Talking Skull\" takes the reader to a tiny agricultural village renowned for the sexually-charged, mystical milk of its calves; \"Electricity\" introduces a remote flatland region where a monumental ceiling fan changes an entire town's attitude toward modernization. From the acacia scrub of the flatlands to a city bazaar jammed with vegetable stalls, tourists, and beggars, Crace's invented world is as fabulous as it is eerily familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50343543636241,"sku":"CIN0062662406G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50999103848721,"sku":"NIN9780062662408","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51733088305425,"sku":"CIN0062662406VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0062662406.jpg?v=1751194577","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/products\/continent-buch-jim-crace-9780062662408","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
