{"product_id":"9781595945181","title":"Punch Line","description":"B. D. Love writes eloquently of troubled lives and troubled loves, capturing as well as anyone writing today the ways in which we both crave and fear intimacy. Two practical-joking school friends betray each other; a man battles his pitifully irascible neighbors; a professor grows infatuated with an immigrant B-girl; a grieving widow becomes obsessed with helping a homeless man; two Vietnamese students learning English struggle with Swift's \"A Modest Proposal\"-Love's stories illuminate those critical moments when, suddenly, we can save another's sanity and dignity, when we most urgently feel our human commitment to each other. Punch Line is a beautiful collection from a contemporary master.\u003cbr\u003eJay Rogoff, author of Venera and The Art of Gravity","brand":"WingSpan Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053998391536,"sku":"9781595945181","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781595945181_p0.jpg?v=1763813135","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781595945181","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
