ISBN: 9780819573490.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best stories from a master of speculative fiction\n\nCalled \"one of our brightest cultural commentators\" by Publishers Weekly, Kit Reed draws from life―with a difference. This new collection brings together thirty-four of her strong, original stories, from early classics like \"The Wait\" and \"Winter\" to six never-before-collected short stories, including \"The Legend of Troop 13\" and \"Wherein We Enter the Museum.\" An early favorite, \"Automatic Tiger,\" is the first in a series of Reeds stories about animals. Theres a monkey who grinds out bestsellers with the help of a \"creative writing\" app. Her uncanny black dog can enter a crowded room and sit down at the feet of the next man to die. Her characters confront war in various arenas: mother\/daughter battles, the war of the sexes, the struggles of men scarred by war. Kit Reeds self-described \"transgenred\" fiction is confirmation of an \"extraordinary talent\" (The Financial Times). The range and complexity of her work speaks for itself in The Story Until Now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wesleyan University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45254320128053,"sku":"ByrdShop_0819573493","price":24.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780819573490_68e45b46-2d58-49ac-90cd-23e480cfa2d9.jpg?v=1779957348","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-story-until-now-a-great-big-book-of-stories-9780819573490","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
