{"product_id":"2197966","title":"The Assignation: Stories","description":"192 pp. 8vo. A collection of short stories by the prolific, award-winning American author. \"A woman's lover seems not to recognize her on the street. A teenage girl accepts a ride from a stranger in a rust-speckled Cadillac. An old man is obsessed by the memory of his innocent childhood intrusion on a half-dressed aunt. In forty-four very short, very powerful stories, Joyce Carol Oates fashions brief, intensely compact dramas out of the unwieldy material of human experience. The stories in The Assignation are infused with a \"radiant intensity,\" wrote James Atlas in the New York Times Book Review, and they convey the depth and scope of a novel in a few charged pages. The Assignation is an electric display of the talents that make Joyce Carol Oates one of our finest short story writers.\"","brand":"The Ecco Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12595522469958,"sku":"2197966","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2197966.jpg?v=1571422749","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/2197966","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
