A young girl reads the encyclopedia to her elderly neighbor, who is descending into dementia. A pair of teenagers seek intimacy as phone-sex operators. A competitive sibling tries to rise above the drunken mess of her own life to become a loving aunt. One sister consumes the ashes of another. And, in the title story, an experimental artist takes on his most ambitious project yet: constructing a life-size ark according to the Bible's specifications. In a world defined by estrangement, where is communion to be found? The characters in This Is Salvaged, unmoored in turbulence, are searching fervently for meaning, through one another."-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $t Sibyls. $t I, Buffalo -- $t This is salvaged -- $t You are not alone -- $t Unknown unknowns -- $t The hormone hypothesis -- $t Puppet master made the puppets -- $t The eighteen girls -- $t What next -- $t Sibyls. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. $9 80342 650 0 $a Short stories. $9 75341 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft $9 86212 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft $9 164681 941 $a 6 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517011309.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240202025259.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240106010210.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20231107011053.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231005010508.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20231003010432.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=36F7351661B211EE96A426B62DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
