Interwoven with their stories are those of inhabitants of the living world: a retired sea captain, a psychotic former child actor (possibly the sea captain’s illegitimate son?), and the technicians who monitor the Burrow, making sure its occupants have a constant supply of oxygen and food. Through all of their stories, and the ways in which their lives, past and present, intertwine, Krusoe creates a poignant story about what constitutes a life, what remains when we die, and what we possibly carry with us into the next world. ","brand":"Tin House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43407158149375,"sku":"9781941040188","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781941040188_s600x595.jpg?v=1775593963","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781941040188","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
