{"product_id":"9781604890884","title":"Deep Tissue","description":"\u003cp\u003eJeff Tapia's collection Deep Tissue is written in a preposterously excruciating style that mimics the often preposterous and excruciating everydayness of modern life. In the title story, a man seeks revenge against his soon-to-be ex-wife by destroying her new kitchen appliance. In \"Fear's,\" a disgruntled security guard asks his good-natured buddy to help him cut off his foot. The middle-aged woman in \"The Dark Continent\" keeps the lump in her breast a secret from her new partner only to discover - belatedly - that he has a secret of his own. Mimicking the soulless rummage of the information age, Deep Tissue explores the poignant needs and desires of everyday people engulfed in a phony world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Livingston Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49788775727344,"sku":"9781604890884","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781604890884","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
