{"product_id":"9781939419354","title":"Bessarabian Stamps: Stories","description":"Reminiscent of Bruno Schulz’s \u003ci\u003eStreet of Crocodiles\u003c\/i\u003e, Oleg Woolf’s \u003ci\u003eBessarabian Stamps\u003c\/i\u003e — a cycle of 16 stories set mostly in the village of Sanduleni — is a vivid, surreal evocation of a liminal world. Sanduleni’s denizens are in permanent flux, forever shifting languages, cultures, and states (in every sense of the word). Woolf has relocated magical realism to Moldova. With the turmoil in current Russia and the post-Soviet world, \u003ci\u003eBessarabian Stamps\u003c\/i\u003e emphasizes the absurdity of the mundane.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Phoneme Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169825374448,"sku":"9781939419354","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781939419354_p0.jpg?v=1763665016","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781939419354","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
