{"product_id":"so-late-in-the-day-claire-keegan-9780802160850","title":"So Late in the Day: Stories of Women and Men","description":"\"Celebrated for her powerful short fiction, Claire Keegan now gifts us three exquisite stories together forming a brilliant examination of gender dynamics and an arc from Keegan's earliest to her most recent work. In \"So Late in the Day,\" Cathal faces a long weekend as his mind agitates over a woman with whom he could have spent his life, had he acted differently; in \"The Long and Painful Death\" a writer's arrival at the seaside home of Heinrich B鑰ll for a two-week writing residency is disrupted by an academic who imposes his criticisms and opinions; and in \"Antarctica\" a married woman travels out of town to see what it's like to sleep with another man and ends up in the grip of a possessive stranger.' Each story probes the dynamics that corrupt what could be between women and men: a lack of generosity, the weight of expectation, the looming threat of violence.\"--\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claire Keegan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802160859\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802160850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.30h x 4.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2023 pg. 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2023 pg. 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2023","brand":"Claire Keegan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44133038522623,"sku":"9780802160850","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_805e2678-130f-40e2-8025-c512ce9b7be5.jpg?v=1687483729","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/so-late-in-the-day-claire-keegan-9780802160850","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
