{"product_id":"9780997779707","title":"The Fifth Eye: A Collection of Fiction and Creative Nonfiction","description":"This debut story collection depicts a wide range of compelling characters and their worlds: a hermaphrodite falling in love, a veteran Marine's \"piercing\" attempt to cope with PTSD, preparations for the anticipated destruction of a hurricane, aging and the aftermath of breast cancer, immigrants fleeing famine, a mother's worst fear, and the mystifications of love versus simple desire. As a tone painting, as well as an artwork painted with words, the final story \"Galatea\" offers a mind-bending, multimedia experience of the complex relationship between two artists and the workings of their minds. The book is not a linked story collection, yet some settings, subjects, phrases, styles, and themes weave throughout the collection, bringing to each stand-alone story a broad resonance and perspective.","brand":"Serving House Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49849802883312,"sku":"9780997779707","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780997779707","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
