{"product_id":"9781939381446","title":"Misplaced Persons","description":"Though set in different locales what these stories have in common is a central character who is out of his element, in the wrong place, coming to grips with cultural, generational, or physical displacement. In PROBLEM FOR THE TEACHER an expatriate fumbles for a living; in LIMBO an ex-G.I. is adrift in Copenhagen; in TRIUMPH OF THE WILL a nervous wreck seeks recuperation; in MISCALCULATION a would be tax evader succumbs to his own fears; in THE LIE a drunk gets himself into difficulties, and in THE GIRLS OF FREDERIKSHAVN an old man is trapped by girls looking for action. In HELLO, IRA? a young man gets phone calls from his dead mother. In A BUBBE MEYSE a Jewish mother tells about her son Yeshuah. In WOUNDED WARRIOR a VA doctor is haunted by memories of old battle wounds. Almost 40 stories in all.","brand":"IDEVCO Intellectual Properties","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054359101680,"sku":"9781939381446","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781939381446_p0.jpg?v=1763666286","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781939381446","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
