His stories, as empathetic as they are unforgiving, are like no others in our nation's literature. Published with a moving introduction by the novelist Richard Russo, this collection will stand as its author's final masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holt, Henry \u0026 Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144078672112,"sku":"9781466853652","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466853652_p0.jpg?v=1769891490","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466853652","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
