{"product_id":"fragments-jachrys-abel-9789811486104","title":"Fragments: A Collection of Short Stories","description":"Fragments explores various facets of humanity through eight short stories-each of different subject matter, but with a shared undercurrent of what can best be described as honest humanness. There's a gravedigger's uptake of a small favor for his brother, a young boy teaching his friend how to survive in a haunted house, and a valiant king's attempt to escape the clutches of death. There's also the arduous endeavor of a nameless boy to prove his existence, and a young girl's tortured wait for her partner's return home. The daughter of a scientist uncovers why exactly the ocean waves, while a defunct human does penance for calculated murder. The collection then ends off with a rework of the author's first ever published short which first appeared in literary magazine, Catch The Moment: a tale of how an invalid flees when his home is sieged, dragging along with him the village leader and her trusted advisor. Fragments is Jachrys' first self-published collection of short stories. His other works have appeared in numerous literary publications, of which include Catch The Moment; The Writing Cooperative; The Ascent; The Bad Influence; Storymaker; and Literally Literary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jachrys Abel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9811486107\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789811486104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Library Board Singapore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/22\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.20d","brand":"Jachrys Abel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995971944703,"sku":"9789811486104","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d3b9bab-1cc4-4bc7-8b98-1168cd9d43d6.jpg?v=1683338952","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fragments-jachrys-abel-9789811486104","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
