{"product_id":"9781597095303","title":"52 Men","description":"From a writer who master poet Seamus Heaney described as one “who risks much both stylistically and emotionally” comes \u003ci\u003e52 Men\u003c\/i\u003e. Taut, spare and highly compressed autobiographical fiction for the mobile age, it is immensely funny and sexually charged.   In contemporary literary miniatures from a few lines to a few pages, Manhattan-raised Elise McKnight describes the men in her life who gradually reveal her: high-profile cultural leaders, writers and celebrities, as well as the down-to-earth waiter, student and police officer. Fifty-two strange, romantic and sexual interludes and relationships spark to life and disappear in the wind, leaving the reader always asking: What is Elise’s power? What does she want and will she ever get it? Does she have a secret and if so, what is it?   With surprising, sometimes shocking and moving cameos by figures from tabloids and the news: Jay Carney, Jonathan Franzen, Lou Reed, Michael Stipe; and encounters with artists, financiers, and a boxer who reads Neruda at the Turkish baths.","brand":"Red Hen Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163164197104,"sku":"9781597095303","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781597095303_p0.jpg?v=1769901571","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781597095303","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
