Rhodes — one of Granta’s Twenty Best Young British Novelists — writes some of the world’s most idiosyncratically charming, achingly honest stories. In the territory of love, relationships, and sex he has a remarkable skill for poking fun at our rhapsodic moments of longing and heartbreak.\u003cbr\u003eA chance encounter prompts an aging professor to regret a lifetime of wasted opportunities; a beautiful wife tests her husband by making herself hideous; for the love of a girl, a boy turns himself into a violoncello; a man encounters a staggeringly lovely woman in a landfill and returns there constantly. . . . Funny, magical, effete, and strange, in these seven short stories Dan Rhodes lays bare the pain and enchantment of love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canongate Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057323426032,"sku":"9781841957388","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781841957388_p0.jpg?v=1763741370","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781841957388","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
