In “We Adore These Bodies Until They Are Gone,” people evaporate when suffering isolation and directionless; in “Happy Birthdays,” characters transform into different ages when they consume particular kinds of cake; and in the titular story, a pair of lonely teenagers come together at a party after one of them gifts the other with a small cloud he has spun out of his own hands. \n\nBaumann’s tender vignettes of love, anger, grief, and desire are a stunning ode to the places and people that can give us solace within an absurd and chaotic world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joe Baumann","offers":[{"title":"BOA Editions, Ltd. |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2023-11-03","offer_id":44230040846591,"sku":"9781960145024","price":25.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_eecf8f38-8e94-4acf-83d5-ec780b8550a0.jpg?v=1692990753","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781960145024","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
