{"product_id":"9781604865912","title":"We, the Children of Cats","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy turns teasing and terrifying, laconic and luminous, the stories in this anthology are drawn from sources as diverse as Borges, Nabokov, Garcia-Marquez, and traditional Japanese folklore, and yet they ultimately reside in a slyly subversive literary world that is all their own. Blending an uncompromising ethical vision with exuberant, free-wheeling imagery and bracing formal experimentation, the five short stories and three novellas included in \u003ci\u003eWe, the Children of Cats\u003c\/i\u003e show the full range and force of Hoshino’s imagination. The stories include a man and woman who find their genders and sexualities brought radically into question when their bodies sprout new parts; a man who travels from Japan to Latin America in search of revolutionary purpose only to find much more than he bargained for; a journalist who investigates a poisoning at an elementary school and gets lost in an underworld of buried crimes, secret societies, and haunted forests; and two young killers, exiled from Japan, who find a new beginning as resistance fighters in Peru. An afterword by translator and editor Brian Bergstrom and a new preface by Hoshino himself is also included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PM Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031406166256,"sku":"9781604865912","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781604865912_p0.jpg?v=1763828788","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781604865912","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
