{"product_id":"9781625579539","title":"Coulrophobia \u0026 Fata Morgana","description":"\u003cbr\u003eFiction. Jacob Appel's narratives pull you in from the first entrance of their characters, whether it's a woman picking up her errant grandson from the police station, or two US-Canadian border guards with too much time to kill. The portraits are sharp and perceptive, with a vivid sense of scene. They can also be quietly devastating, as in the love story \u003cem\u003eCounting\u003c\/em\u003e, or bitterly funny, as in \u003cem\u003eSaluting the Magpie\u003c\/em\u003e, which is to say that Appel is a writer of versatility and verve. COULROPHOBIA \u0026amp; FATA MORGANA is a collection that renews my faith in storytelling.\"—David Galef","brand":"Black Lawrence Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052919800048,"sku":"9781625579539","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781625579539_p0.jpg?v=1763862732","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781625579539","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
