The acclaimed winner of the 2021 Goldsmiths Prize for fiction that breaks the mold and extends the possibilities of the form, this novel explores the phantasmagoric nature of contemporary life, especially for nonbinary migrants, and daringly revises how solidarity and justice might be sought and won. \u003ci\u003eSterling Karat Gold\u003c\/i\u003e couldn't be a better North American introduction to a writer with an irresistible style and unforgettable vision.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Sterling Karat Gold | Isabel Waidner | Paperback | 9781644452134 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1754752","offer_id":50902592258306,"sku":"1754752","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71Dc5iHEveL_e9a9ff89-464c-4a44-8b7f-54e22a7b4c0c.jpg?v=1793203922","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/sterling-karat-gold-1","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
