{"product_id":"9781482851984","title":"The Empty Pedestal and Other Stories","description":"This collection of short fiction has been written over a period of two decades. The stories do not belong to any particular genre . They could vary from addressing issues of national import to dealing with the trivia of everyday life. As with much of short fiction each story is a snapshot. Yet the attempt is to make each as complete as possible. In a sense the stories are a commentary on the India of today - it's strengths, it's weaknesses, it's frailties, it's eccentricities, it's idiosyncrasies.","brand":"Partridge Publishing India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125877293296,"sku":"9781482851984","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781482851984_p0.jpg?v=1763625505","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781482851984","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
