{"product_id":"9780811219143","title":"While the Women Are Sleeping","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn unforgettable collection of stories by one of the world's most revered writers.\u003cbr\u003eSlippery figures in anomalous situations – ghosts, spies, bodyguards, criminals– haunt these stories by Javier Marías: the characters come bearing their strange and special secrets, and never leave our minds. In one story, a man obsessed with his much younger lover endlessly videotapes her every move,and then confides his surprising plans for her; in another, a ghost can’t stop resigning from his job. Masterfully, Marías manages in a small space to perplex and delight. “The short story fits Marías like a glove,” as Le point noted. His stories have been hailed as “formidably intelligent” (The London Review of Books), “a bracing tonic” (The Chicago Tribune), and “startling” (The New York Times Book Review).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016587100400,"sku":"9780811219143","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780811219143_p0.jpg?v=1763728635","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780811219143","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
