Their fates-and his-become entangled as the lines between their divergent realities become dangerously blurred. \"NO SUCH COLD THING unsettles the ground beneath our feet much as [Wallace's] characters have found it vanishing beneath their own. The characters are pitched, dreamlike, somewhere between life and death as Wallace expertly pinpoints the reality of war in the magical-surreal of dramatic imagination.\" Robert Avila, San Francisco Bay Guardian \"In their existential disorientation, Wallace's Middle East plays escape the logic, the prison and the sentimental clichés of a realistic and more sociable theatre, because their impatient narratives take shape only to disintegrate, their dramatic value heightened by the instability of the drama itself.\" Randy Gener, American Theatre\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46497169309847,"sku":"9780881456530","price":1441.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780881456530.webp?v=1769179602","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/no-such-cold-thing-9780881456530","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
