A man tends bees amid the bombed-out husks of his village. A young girl takes revenge for the loss of a precious life. A Yugoslav drifter finds himself at dead ends in the American heartland. A marriage splinters over a suspicious scent. A cat and a dog enact ancient enmity in the midst of a warzone. An old debt is repaid. And a boy and a juvenile hawk seem to be on a similar quest for freedom and adventure, though violence lurks in the wilds just beyond the window.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNovakovich, hailed as “one of the best short-story writers of the decade” (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e), approaches each story with the signature insight, wit, and compassion that have brought him distinction as winner of the American Book Award and Whiting Writer’s Award, and a finalist for the Man Booker International Prize.","brand":"Josip Novakovich","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49074050171131,"sku":"9781945814990","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/honey-in-the-carcase-9781945814990","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
