{"product_id":"9781619026513","title":"A German Picturesque: Selected and Introduced by Ben Marcus","description":"Haunting in their tone, brilliant in their images--very like fantastic presences moving across glass--the twenty-one fictions in this startling debut collection seem both inexplicably familiar and like no writing we have seen before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe opening story leads us through a kaleidoscopic series of thoughts and memories around the act of writing a letter. Another, an intricately structured document of documents--household inventories, daily calendars, property deeds, an announcement--suggests the reality overflowing these mundane markers of our lives. Yet another traces the histories of five artifacts, while at the same time slyly assembling five miniature biographical portraits.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Catapult","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171280929008,"sku":"9781619026513","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781619026513_p0.jpg?v=1763852233","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781619026513","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
