{"product_id":"9780615793252","title":"Circles and Wheels","description":"This is a book of short stories. Everybody has a story. Everybody has a life. So do buildings. We think we see buildings, we think we see people and we think we know them. But we don't. Not really. We see what we want to see. What actually goes on inside (people and buildings) - kidnapping, murder, love, death, betrayal, unwashed dishes, parties crashed by homeless men, drag queens leaving their apartments without a sun hat - it would shock and amaze you.\u003cbr\u003eSo, what can you learn about life from the city of San Diego - land of beaches, palm trees, mesas, waterless deserts and demons and angels? This book of short stories attempts to answer that burning civic and personal question. What? What is there to learn?\u003cbr\u003eAngels are everywhere. \u003cbr\u003eIn bowling alleys and department stores, on doomed European vacations and the tops of unlikely mountains.\u003cbr\u003eDrag Queens are everywhere.\u003cbr\u003eIn sushi bar murders, in first-time love affairs, in condos and in taxis and just in general.\u003cbr\u003eDeath is everywhere. \u003cbr\u003eIn the light, in the dark, in the nostrils of deities.\u003cbr\u003eLife is everywhere.\u003cbr\u003eIn kidnapping the handicapped, in terminal diseases, in haunted public transportation.\u003cbr\u003eCircles and wheels are everywhere.\u003cbr\u003eThat is, if you know where to look for them. San Diego's a good place to start.","brand":"Bubble Eyes Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027291455728,"sku":"9780615793252","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780615793252_p0.jpg?v=1763600122","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780615793252","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
