{"product_id":"9781468301533","title":"Mahogany and Other Stories","description":"An important stylistic force in twentieth-century Russian literature, Boris Pilnyak never shied from controversy.\u003cbr\u003eHis incendiary stories melded sexual themes with his doubts about the Soviet Union; his frank portrayal of mother-son incest in \"The Nizhni Novgorod\" -- taken as a comment on the revolution of February 1917 -- became the catalyst for his persecution.\u003cbr\u003eThis collection serves as a valuable introduction to the author's greatest stories. The acclaimed translation by Vera T. Reck and Michael Green makes Pilnyak's prose accessible to contemporary audiences while maintaining his evocative voice.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The Overlook Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028164559088,"sku":"9781468301533","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781468301533_p0.jpg?v=1763694669","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781468301533","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
