{"product_id":"evening-out-david-walton-9780820335155","title":"Evening Out: Stories","description":"David Walton's collection of eight stories, five of which are set in Pittsburgh, offers darkly humorous meditations on modern life. In \"Skin and Bone\" an unexpected, strange, and ultimately tragic encounter between a karate student and his instructor raises questions about guilt and responsibility. \"The Sundeck\" touches on sex, loneliness, and the difficulty for people to meaningfully connect. In the title story, a dinner party attended by a struggling academic begins with the toast \"No more angst or ennui\" only to end in hostility and disaster. \u003ci\u003eEvening Out\u003c\/i\u003e was the first book to win the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Walton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820335150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820335155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.46d","brand":"David Walton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086963519743,"sku":"9780820335155","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_954535bc-a2af-46f0-9381-a348a811778e.jpg?v=1769097512","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evening-out-david-walton-9780820335155","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
