Closing out the anthology is \"We'll Tell Happy Stories,\" a short full-length piece following two refugees from a destroyed country, posing as ambassadors, as they struggle to deal with a new decree expelling all foreigners from their host country.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Francis Bass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111616332016,"sku":"2940154499146","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940154499146_p0.jpg?v=1764069687","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940154499146","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
