{"product_id":"9781564786920","title":"The Truth about Marie","description":"Moving through a variety of locales and adventures, \u003ci\u003eThe Truth about Marie\u003c\/i\u003e revisits the unnamed narrator of Toussaint's acclaimed Running Away, reporting on  his now disintegrated relationship with the titular Marie—the story switching  deftly between first- and third-person as the narrator continues to drift through  life, and Marie does her best to get on with hers. Like all of Toussaint's novels,  \u003ci\u003eThe Truth about Marie\u003c\/i\u003e's plot matters far less than its pace and tempo, its chain  of images, its sequence of events. From pouring rain in Paris to blazing fires on  the island of Elba, from moments of intense action to perfectly paced lulls, \u003ci\u003eThe  Truth about Marie\u003c\/i\u003e relies on a series of contrasts to tell a beguiling, and finally  touching, story of intimacy forever being regained and lost.","brand":"Deep Vellum Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157155856624,"sku":"9781564786920","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781564786920_p0.jpg?v=1763788447","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781564786920","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
