{"product_id":"stay-up-with-me-tom-barbash-9780062258137","title":"Stay Up with Me: Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the tradition of classic short stories by John Cheever and Tobias Wolff, those in Tom Barbash's evocative collection explore the myriad ways we try to connect to one another and to the sometimes cruel world around us. The newly single mother in \"The Break\" interferes with her son's love life over his Christmas vacation from college. The anxious young man in \"Balloon Night\" persists in hosting an annual watch-the-Macy's-Thanksgiving-Day-Parade-floats-be-inflated party, while trying to keep the myth of his marriage equally afloat. Barbash laces his narratives with sharp humor, psychological acuity, and pathos, creating deeply resonant and engaging stories that pierce the heart and linger in the imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Barbash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0062258133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062258137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.60w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/22\/2014 pg. 28","brand":"Tom Barbash","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913274786047,"sku":"9780062258137","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_33c33841-d05f-45e7-93c8-dea1baf99fa5.jpg?v=1680617620","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stay-up-with-me-tom-barbash-9780062258137","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
