{"product_id":"9780811221153","title":"The Red Notebook: True Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Red Notebook\u003c\/em\u003e brings together in one volume all of Paul Auster's short, true-life stories—a remarkable collection of tales that documents the curious, miraculous, and sometimes catastrophic turns of everyday reality.\u003c\/p\u003e Paul Auster has earned international praise for the imaginative power of his many novels, including \u003cem\u003eThe New York Trilogy, Moon Palace, The Music of Chance, Mr. Vertigo\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eTimbuktu\u003c\/em\u003e. He has also published a number of highly original non-fiction works: \u003cem\u003eThe Invention of Solitude, Hand to Mouth, and The Art of Hunger\u003c\/em\u003e. In \u003cem\u003eThe Red Notebook\u003c\/em\u003e, Auster again explores events from the real world large and small, tragic and comic—that reveal the unpredictable, shifting nature of human experience. A burnt onion pie, a wrong number, a young boy struck by lightning, a man falling off a roof, a scrap of paper discovered in a Paris hotel room—all these form the context for a singular kind of \u003cem\u003ears poetica\u003c\/em\u003e, a literary manifesto without theory, cast in the irreducible forms of pure story telling.","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079488585968,"sku":"9780811221153","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780811221153_p0.jpg?v=1763813182","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780811221153","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
