{"product_id":"9781628970401","title":"Writers","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere we have the anatomy of the contemporary writer, as imagined by the pseudonymous, \"post-exotic\" Antoine Volodine. His writers aren't the familiar, bitter, alcoholic kind, however; nor are they great, romantic, tortured geniuses; and least of all are they media darlings and socialites. No, in Volodine's universe, the writer is pitted in a pathetic struggle against silence and sickness--that is, when she's not about to be murdered by random lunatics or fellow inmates. Consisting of seven loosely interlocking stories, \"Writers\" is a window onto a chaotic reality where expressing oneself brings along with it repercussions both absurd and frighteningly familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dalkey Archive Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031902339312,"sku":"9781628970401","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781628970401_p0.jpg?v=1763872230","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781628970401","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
