{"product_id":"9780819573490","title":"The Story until Now: A Great Big Book of Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eCalled “one of our brightest cultural commentators” by Publishers Weekly, Kit Reed draws from life—with a difference. This new collection brings together thirty-four of her strong, original stories, from early classics like “The Wait” and “Winter” to six never-before-collected short stories, including “The Legend of Troop 13” and “Wherein We Enter the Museum.” An early favorite, “Automatic Tiger,” is the first in a series of Reed’s stories about animals. There’s a monkey who grinds out bestsellers with the help of a “creative writing” app. Her uncanny black dog can enter a crowded room and sit down at the feet of the next man to die. Her characters confront war in various arenas: mother\/daughter battles, the war of the sexes, the struggles of men scarred by war. Kit Reed’s self-described “transgenred” fiction is confirmation of an “extraordinary talent” (The Financial Times). The range and complexity of her work speaks for itself in The Story Until Now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wesleyan University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016854978800,"sku":"9780819573490","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780819573490_p0.jpg?v=1763747480","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780819573490","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
