The Safety of Objects
Low stock: 1 left
The Safety of Objects is a breakthrough collection of stories that carries readers into a world of emotional sf where everyone, regardless of age, plays hide-&-seek & no one is really safe. Not the boy abducted by a hard-to-please kidnapper; not the child kept "alive" by a battery of machines; not the parents spiraling into sloth & substance abuse after packing off the kids to grandmother's house; not the teenager vigorously seduced by his sister's doll, in one of the most vivid episodes of amour found in recent fiction. In the stories of A.M. Homes, the real & the surreal meet on even terms to create a disturbing & sometimes hilarious vision of the way we live now, where the most bizarre circumstances are surprisingly familiar.

Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.
