{"product_id":"dancing-with-dasein-and-other-mark-morganstern-9780692495759","title":"Dancing with Dasein and Other Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this collection of fourteen stories---mostly set among working folks in the Hudson River Valley of New York---music, food, philosophy, and magic weave through tales that are by turns gritty, aching, and comical. Characters grapple with unfulfilled dreams in a dizzying, often alien culture. Meet a Bronx Italian Zen master with a baby and an ex-football-star partner...a young curator assigned to coddle an infamous avant-garde artist whose assistant threatens her marriage...a Homer scholar who disappears in a blizzard over a stone wall, never to be seen again...a failed graduate student who nearly gets paralyzed delivering a case of gourmet cat food to his Heidegger professor to settle a vague psychic debt...a reincarnating Ancient Egyptian chef who travels thousand of years from the banks of the Nile to a surf-crazed town in Southern California to open a bakery...and others. All are drawn with empathy and wry humor, observed through a sharp lens as they wrestle and waltz with the blunt challenge of being human---\u003cem\u003eDancing with Dasein.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Morganstern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692495754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692495759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Recital Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.66d","brand":"Mark Morganstern","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453369889023,"sku":"9780692495759","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ccf806a-21e6-43db-9cf1-ae7cf9afc1e5.jpg?v=1777299873","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dancing-with-dasein-and-other-mark-morganstern-9780692495759","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
