{"product_id":"perfume-cigarettes-courtney-crane-9781977628817","title":"Perfume \u0026 Cigarettes: 5 stories","description":"A collection of contemporary short stories with some touches of magic realism...Crane produces spot-on descriptions like that of an old man's body that was \"as thin and shapeless as a can of Pringles\" and clever turns of phrase such as \"[h]e'd learned to live with it, the way people learn to live leprosy or a criminal record\"...Tales like \"The Little Flower of the Newsroom\", with its clever title and unexpected conclusion, and the haunting glimpse into the mind of a mass murderer in \"The Last Day is Better than the First\" make this slim volume of literary gems. worthy of further exploration. Kirkus Indie Reviews \"Crane has a bloodhound's sense for story, a lapidary's skill with sentences, and a wicked sense of emotional surprise. Reading these stories right after another is like a daisy chain of brilliance.\" John Fox at Bookfox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Courtney Crane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1977628818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781977628817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.34d","brand":"Courtney Crane","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800736739583,"sku":"9781977628817","price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perfume-cigarettes-courtney-crane-9781977628817","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
