A corpse reveals our common humanity. A lonely old lady shares her bittersweet last hours. Fall leaves fall, dogs bounds, cats stroll through these lively selections from Patsy Garlan's 60-year writing career. In pithy poems, evocative stories, and telling essays, Garlan's light touch draws the reader of The Thing Is into a world all human beings share and create. Love, loss, birth, death, and the hereafter, are among her wide-ranging themes. She writes of coming to terms with the daunting computer, or succumbing to the charms of the ever-present cellphone, of reveling in the joys and challenges of the natural world.And on every page of The Thing Is, what shines through is the celebration of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 348\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.72 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 13, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46627985490117,"sku":"9780996373616","price":30.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/1hLKLBuJOl9780996373616.webp?v=1785297647","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-thing-is-selected-writings-by-patsy-garlan-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
