{"product_id":"9780679781554","title":"The Night in Question: Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the sinuous and subtly crafted stories in Tobias Wolff's new collection—his first in eleven years—begins with a man biting a dog. The fact that Wolff is reversing familiar expectations is only half the point. The other half is that Wolff makes the reversal seem inevitable: the dog has attacked his protagonist's young daughter. And everywhere in \u003cb\u003eThe Night in Question\u003c\/b\u003e, we are reminded that truth is deceptive, volatile, and often the last thing we want to know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA young reporter writes an obituary only to be fired when its subject walks into his office, very much alive. A soldier in Vietnam goads his lieutenant into sending him on increasingly dangerous missions. An impecunious mother and son go window-shopping for a domesticity that is forever beyond their grasp. Seamless, ironic, dizzying in their emotional aptness, these fifteen stories deliver small, exquisite shocks that leave us feeling invigorated and intensely alive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019707891952,"sku":"9780679781554","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780679781554_p0.jpg?v=1763789708","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780679781554","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
