{"product_id":"9780819563828","title":"Seven for the Apocalypse","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeven for the Apocalypse brings together Kit Reed's powerful 1994 novella with seven short stories about love and isolation. A work of metaphysical science fiction and a finalist for the Tiptree award, Little Sisters of the Apocalypse interweaves two stories. The first follows a motorcycle gang of radical nuns on their mission to save an island of women, abandoned by the men who have gone to war, from a band of outlaws. Of course, not all of the women need, or want, to be saved. The second narrative traces the long-term illness and eventual death of the author's mother, herself a World War II widow. The accompanying short stories, never before collected, include the highly acclaimed \"River,\" \"The Singing Marine,\" and \"Voyager.\" These intense, intelligent tales take a hard and often humorous look at the myths we create in order to comfort ourselves, myths whose danger lies in their very perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wesleyan University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007997460720,"sku":"9780819563828","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780819563828_p0.jpg?v=1763749028","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780819563828","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
