Allen's fierce first collection, \u003ci\u003eA Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes\u003c\/i\u003e, the extraordinary emerges from the everyday. Allen's stories are informed by the vast landscapes of New Mexico and Texas, and in them the mythic and the mundane intertwine: two neighbors burn a grandson's letters from Vietnam in a backyard grill; a child vanishes into the maze of Albuquerque's fabled Alvarado Hotel; a sculptor meets her younger self in the eerie stillness of a theater lobby. These are only a few of the unforgettable, mysterious moments that mark the arrival of a bold new voice in contemporary Southwest fiction.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0826369278\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780826369277\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Allen, Nancy J.\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Unm Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unm Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Jan 2026)","offer_id":46081710457029,"sku":"9780826369277","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780826369277.jpg?v=1776048607","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/a-method-of-reaching-extreme-altitudes-and-other-stories","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
