{"product_id":"beheading-the-virgin-mary-and-donal-mclaughlin-9781628970128","title":"Beheading the Virgin Mary, and Other Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eLiam O'Donnel, an Irish boy growing up in Scotland, is often the focus of Donal McLaughlin's hilarious and harrowing short stories, and in beheading the virgin mary, he continues this loose narrative, interspersed -- every second story -- with unrelated reports. Here, Liam steps in dog dirt on his way to Sunday Mass; Bloody Sunday is experienced as a series of phone calls to the home of a Scottish neighbor; and the title story introduces the next generation of O'Donnells. With his keen ear and inimitable spirit, the always innovative McLaughlin is one of the brightest lights of contemporary European fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donal McLaughlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 162897012X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628970128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2014 pg. 96\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Donal McLaughlin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44067899375871,"sku":"9781628970128","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43a0e663-c92e-4fd7-90e3-f6ad2c004d30.jpg?v=1685415919","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beheading-the-virgin-mary-and-donal-mclaughlin-9781628970128","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
