{"product_id":"9781598530261","title":"William Maxwell: Later Novels and Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn the centennial of William Maxwell's birth, here is the second volume in a two- volume collected edition that reveals the full range of an extraordinary literary voice, a voice that John Updike has called 'one of the wisest in American fiction . . . as well as one of the kindest.' In \u003ci\u003eLater Novels and Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, Maxwell deepens his connection to his signature subject matter even as he broadens his canvas. \u003ci\u003eThe Château\u003c\/i\u003e (1961) describes the most subtle and bittersweet encounter of American naiveté and Old World mystery since Henry James. So Long, See You Tomorrow\u003ci\u003eBillie Dyer\u003c\/i\u003e (1992) and eleven other works of short fiction—some never before collected. The volume concludes with forty brief 'improvisations?' fairy tales Maxwell wrote for his wife-and the essay 'Nearing Ninety' (1997), his moving valediction to a lifetime of reading and storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of America, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036959293680,"sku":"9781598530261","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781598530261_p0.jpg?v=1763825458","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781598530261","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
