{"product_id":"9781931982191","title":"Live Cargo: Stories","description":"\u003cbr\u003eFiction. Pauls Toutonghi's first collection of short stories reveals that he is a master not only of form, but of emotional and colorful tales that range in subject-matter from Houdini's 1908 escape from handcuffed submersion in the Seine to the intertwining of a grandfather's story of death in the trenches of World War I with Picasso's discovery of a friend's suicide. \"There is at once a wonderful depth and playfulness in Pauls Toutonghi's stories. They are erudite and experimental, always entertaining. I like the complexities of time and space, the allusions, and the way the stories open unexpected windows on history and individual lives\"--Robert Morgan. Toutonghi is a former Fulbright scholar and was awarded the Pushcart Prize in 2001.","brand":"Livingston Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49869083508976,"sku":"9781931982191","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781931982191","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
