A college student's field trip to the Moonlite Bunny Ranch brothel spurs a sexual awakening. A boy starts a wildfire on Peavine while trying to impress his crush. A schoolteacher is dismissed, and the aftermath unfolds in a schoolwide email chain. A woman tries on new identities at Burning Man. All must contend with their complicated histories and answer the question: is being?from?a place?the same as being?of?it??  ?  Experimental in its approach and unflinching in its execution,?Matter Out of Place?is an exploration of bright spots of humanity in dark underbellies, a feminist reckoning with \"sin,\" and a love letter to the strange mirage that is northern Nevada. It inhabits physical and digital spaces with equal wariness, and its characters-filled with grit-navigate the fraught divide between appearances and reality, approval and judgment, gambling everything despite knowing that the house always wins. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369089773941,"sku":"9781647792299","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781647792299","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
