{"product_id":"9781598876840","title":"The Shawl","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo award-winning works of fiction by one of America's finest writers, together in one collection. In \"The Shawl,\" a woman named Rosa Lublin watches a concentration camp guard murder her daughter. In \"Rosa,\" that same woman appears thirty years later, \"a mad woman and a scavenger\" in a Miami hotel. She has no life in the present because her past will never end. In both stories, there is a shawl-a shawl that can sustain a starving child, inadvertently destroy her, or magically conjure her back to life. Both stories were originally published in the New Yorker in the 1980s; each was included in the annual Best American Short Stories and awarded First Prize in the annual O. Henry Prize Stories collection. Each succeeds in imagining the unimaginable: the horror of the Holocaust and the unfillable emptiness of its aftermath. Fiercely immediate, complex, and unforgettable, each is a masterwork by a writer the New York Times hailed as \"the most accomplished and graceful literary stylist of our time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HighBridge Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031336108272,"sku":"9781598876840","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781598876840_p0.jpg?v=1763814936","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781598876840","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
