{"product_id":"brief-encounters-judith-kitchen-9780393350999","title":"Brief Encounters: A Collection of Contemporary Nonfiction","description":"The late Judith Kitchen, editor of the perennially popular anthologies \u003cem\u003eShort Takes, In Short\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eIn Brief, \u003c\/em\u003e was greatly influential in recognizing and establishing flash creative nonfiction as a form in its own right. In \u003cem\u003eBrief Encounters\u003c\/em\u003e, she and writer\/editor\/actor Dinah Lenney expand this vibrant field with nearly eighty new selections: shorts--as these sharply focused pieces have come to be known-- representing an impressive range of voices, perspectives, sensibilities, and forms. \u003cem\u003eBrief Encounters\u003c\/em\u003e features the work of the emerging and the established--including Stuart Dybek, Roxanne Gay, Eduardo Galeano, Leslie Jamison, and Julian Barnes--arranged by theme to explore the human condition in ways intimate, idiosyncratic, funny, sad, provocative, lyrical, unflinching. From the rant to the rave, the meditation to the polemic, the confession to the valediction, this collection of shorts--this celebration of true and vivid prose--will enlarge your world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Kitchen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393350991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393350999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
