{"product_id":"9780679733744","title":"Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough Katherine Mansfield was closely associated with D.H. Lawrence and something of a rival of Virginia Woolf, her stories suggest someone writing in a different era and in a vastly different English. Her language is as transparent as clean glass, yet hovers on the edge of poetry. Her characters are passionate men and women swaddled in English reserve  and sometimes briefly breaking through. And her genius is to pinpoint those unacknowledged and almost imperceptible moments in which those people's relationships  with one another and themselves  change forever. This collection includes such masterpieces as \"Prelude,\" \"At the Bay\" \"Bliss,\" \"The Man Without a Temperament\" and \"The Garden Party\" and has a new introduction by Jeffrey Meyers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027309805808,"sku":"9780679733744","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780679733744_p0.jpg?v=1763606420","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780679733744","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
