{"product_id":"9781564789655","title":"Death of Lysanda: Two Novellas","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Death of Lysanda\u003c\/i\u003e collects two macabre novellas by one of Israel's greatest poets. In the title piece, we meet Naphtali Noi, a recently divorced proofreader, critic, and \"creative\" taxidermist, given to hallucinations and soon perhaps to add murder to his hobbies. \u003ci\u003eAnts\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of a married couple, Jacob and Rachel, who discover that an army of the titular insects is threatening to destroy their rooftop apartment—but Rachel seems to be on \u003ci\u003etheir\u003c\/i\u003e side rather than her husband's. In fragmented prose halfway between the Old Testament and the playful experiments of Julio Cortázar, these tales take to pieces the psyches of two men—and a nation—at war with themselves.","brand":"Deep Vellum Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47149936115952,"sku":"9781564789655","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781564789655_p0.jpg?v=1763787512","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781564789655","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
