An Anglo-Indian cavalryman, his homeland on the brink of revolution, finds himself in Malaysia fighting to protect British interests. Two soldiers lost in the jungle with a Japanese prisoner confront their prejudices toward each other, and the nature of being American. An island witnesses the passing of history from Magellan, to Amelia Earhart, to the dropping of the atomic bomb. With exquisite lyricism tempered by a journalist’s eye for detail, Murray shines light on the tangle of battles created by that conflict, the violent reach across the generations, the shattering reverberations in memory. With this collection, Sabina Murray established herself as a passionate and wise voice of literary fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ Mariner Books; First Edition (January 1, 2002)\u003cbr\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003cbr\u003ePaperback ‏ : ‎ 208 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 061809525X\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0618095254\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ 8 ounces\u003cbr\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ 5.5 x 0.5 x 8 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mariner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45294598160550,"sku":"","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/files\/51oeBVcCHSL.jpg?v=1714865906"},{"product_id":"tales-of-the-new-world-by-sabina-murray","title":"Tales of the New World by Sabina Murray","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn her first collection of stories since her PEN\/Faulkner-winning The Caprices, Sabina Murray confronts the manipulation, compassion, ambition, and controversy surrounding some of the most intrepid and sadistic pioneers of the last four millennia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIconic explorers and settlers are made intimately human as they plow through the un-navigated boundaries of their worlds to give shape to modern geography, philosophy, and science.

Balboa’s peek at the South Sea may never have happened if it wasn’t for his loyal and vicious dog, Leonico, and an unavoidable urge to relieve himself.

In the summer of 1963, American Rupert Brigg travels to Greece to collect classical pieces for his Uncle William’s art collection. Rupert’s first discovery, however, is that Athens is a shadowy place that hides a tangle of fork-tongued diplomacy and duplicitous women, a city of replicas and composites that, like a hall of mirrors, calls to question what is real and what is false. Journeying to the secluded island of Aspros, among a circle of artists and aristocrats, each with their own secrets, Rupert finds the very pieces he’s searching for, but can he escape the tragedy that ended his brief marriage? As beautiful as Rupert’s discoveries are, beneath the surface lurk rumors of insurrection, fabrication, and even murder. Seductive, compelling, and sly, Forgery is a sophisticated book about the value and meaning of art, love, and the corrosive power of grief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ Grove Press; Reprint edition (April 11, 2008)\u003cbr\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003cbr\u003ePaperback ‏ : ‎ 248 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0802143687\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0802143686\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ 11 ounces\u003cbr\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ 5.53 x 0.69 x 8.3 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ Grove Press; First Edition (June 10, 2007)\u003cbr\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003cbr\u003eHardcover ‏ : ‎ 256 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0802118445\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0802118448\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.06 pounds\u003cbr\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ 6 x 1 x 9.25 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45294601863334,"sku":"","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/files\/712sXDyJyDL._SL1500.jpg?v=1714866771"},{"product_id":"a-carnivores-inquiry-a-novel-by-sabina-murray","title":"A Carnivore's Inquiry: A Novel by Sabina Murray","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen we meet Katherine, the winning - and rather disturbing - twenty-three-year-old narrator of A Carnivore's Inquiry, she has just left Italy and arrived in New York City, but what has propelled her there is a mystery. She soon strikes up an affair with a middle-aged Russian emigre novelist she meets on the subway, and almost immediately moves into his apartment. Katherine's occasional allusions to a frighteningly eccentric mother and tyrannical father suggest a somberness at the center of her otherwise flippant and sardonic demeanor. Soon restless, she journeys from literary New York to rural Maine, then across the United States and into Mexico, trailed everywhere she goes by a string of murders. As the ritualistic killings begin to pile up, Katherine comforts and inspires herself by meditating on cannibalism in literature, art, and history, and examines subjects as diverse as the Donnor Party, the fall of Dante's Count Ugolino, and the story behind Gericault's The Raft of the Medusa. Slowly Katherine realizes that at the center of the mysterious deaths lies a bloody truth - that in the beam of a flashlight in the woods, in the scrabbling claws in the cupboard, something is making itself known. As the story races towards its frightening conclusion, Katherine, and the reader, close in on the true reason for her fascination with aberrant, violent behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ Atlantic Monthly Press (June 4, 2004)\u003cbr\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003cbr\u003eHardcover ‏ : ‎ 304 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0802117694\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0802117694\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.19 pounds\u003cbr\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ 6.25 x 1.25 x 9.5 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Monthly Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45294605729958,"sku":"","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/files\/61X7_PdFekL._SL1000.jpg?v=1714868100"}],"url":"https:\/\/philippine-bookshop.myshopify.com\/collections\/filipino-american-experience-filipinos-in-the-diaspora-women-writers-sabina-murray.oembed","provider":"Philippine  Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
