{"product_id":"9781555979218","title":"The Narrow Door: A Memoir of Friendship","description":"In \u003ci\u003eThe Narrow Door, \u003c\/i\u003ePaul Lisicky creates a compelling collage of  scenes and images drawn from two long-term relationships, one with a  woman novelist and the other with his ex-husband, a poet. The contours  of these relationships shift constantly. Denise and Paul, stretched by  the demands of their writing lives, drift apart, and Paul's romance  begins to falter. And the world around them is frail: environmental  catastrophes like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, natural disasters  like the earthquake in Haiti, and local disturbances make an unsettling  backdrop to the pressing concerns of Denise's cancer diagnosis and  Paul's impending breakup. Lisicky's compassionate heart and resilience  seem all the stronger in the face of such searing losses. His  survival--hard-won, unsentimental, authentic--proves that in turning  toward loss, we embrace life.","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128610865392,"sku":"9781555979218","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781555979218_p0.jpg?v=1763756100","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781555979218","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
