{"product_id":"i-am-here-to-make-robert-long-foreman-9781951979041","title":"I Am Here to Make Friends","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese darkly comic and earnestly intimate stories combine the incisive energy of the essayistic with the willing gaze of the individualistic outsider, bringing a freshness to this collection of short fiction, containing award-winning pieces alongside a brand-new gem, that smacks of real life: surprising, unexpected, and intense. A young man digs a canal through his record collection. An expectant father falls in love with a revolver. A woman learns a tornado has leveled her neighboring town, and she is overjoyed, because she hated that town; and a college professor in the near, twisted future is required to carry a gun into his classroom, where he finds that, with a firearm under his jacket, the students finally pay him the attention he deserves. Told with mordant wit, these nine stories show us what happens when what we need is a friend but instead we get something far, far worse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Long Foreman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951979044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951979041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sundress Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.51w x 0.51d","brand":"Robert Long Foreman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988973682943,"sku":"9781951979041","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf7d158d-af0d-42cb-9ad1-0eddbfd1aab6.jpg?v=1683297237","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-am-here-to-make-robert-long-foreman-9781951979041","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
