{"product_id":"9781469180533","title":"Edges Of Existence: 3 Shorter Works","description":"The three works in this volume concern people either slipping from or trying to grasp needed levels in life. In “The Case of Arlene,” a mental patient will only reveal her traumatic past to an itinerant part-time worker, creating intrigues within their facility. “The Lightweight,” written in verse, is essentially an epic poem about a “regular guy.” His story offers meaning in its commonality with the aspirations and weaknesses of many other people. In “The Celestial Opera,” a reunion of two old friends at a funeral leads to deeper understanding of life, death, and what may lie beyond.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130383286512,"sku":"9781469180533","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781469180533_p0.jpg?v=1763698830","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781469180533","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
