Among the stories are 'The Depressed Person,' a  dazzling and blackly humorous portrayal of a woman's mental state;  'Adult World,' which reveals a woman's agonized consideration of her  confusing sexual relationship with her husband; and 'Brief Interviews  with Hideous Men,' a dark, hilarious series of imagined interviews with  men on the subject of their relations with women.\u003cbr\u003eWallace  delights in leftfield observation, mining the absurd, the surprising,  and the illuminating from every situation. This collection will enthrall  DFW fans, and provides a perfect introduction for new readers.","brand":"Little, Brown and Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120849338608,"sku":"9780316086899","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780316086899_p0.jpg?v=1763679193","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780316086899","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
