{"product_id":"9781429921923","title":"Letters to a Young Novelist","description":"Mario Vargas Llosa condenses a lifetime of writing, reading, and thought  into an essential manual for aspiring writers. Drawing on the stories  and novels of writers from around the globe-Borges, Bierce, Céline,  Cortázar, Faulkner, Kafka, Robbe-Grillet-he lays bare the inner workings  of fiction, all the while urging young novelists not to lose touch with  the elemental urge to create. Conversational, eloquent, and  effortlessly erudite, this little book is destined to be read and  re-read by young writers, old writers, would-be writers, and all those  with a stake in the world of letters.","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134151639280,"sku":"9781429921923","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781429921923_p0.jpg?v=1769901704","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781429921923","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
