{"product_id":"9781681371078","title":"The Green Hand and Other Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eNicole Claveloux’s short stories—originally published in the late 1970s and never before collected in English—are among the most beautiful comics ever drawn: whimsical, intoxicating, with the freshness and splendor of dreams. In hallucinatory color or elegant black-and-white, she brings us into lands that are strange but oddly recognizable, filled with murderous grandmothers and lonely city dwellers, bad-tempered vegetables and walls that are surprisingly easy to fall through. In the title story, written with Edith Zha, a new houseplant becomes the first step in an epic journey of self-discovery and a witty fable of modern romance—complete with talking shrubbery, a wised-up genie, and one very depressed bird. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new selection, designed and introduced by Daniel Clowes, presents the full achievement of an unforgettable, unjustly neglected master of French comics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis NYRC edition is an oversized hardcover and features multiple extra-thick paper stocks, full color, and new English hand-lettering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057150476528,"sku":"9781681371078","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781681371078_p0.jpg?v=1763692273","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781681371078","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
