{"product_id":"storytown-susan-daitch-9781564780942","title":"Storytown: Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe distinctions between art and life are blurred in this unsettling and tantalizing first collection of short fiction by novelist Susan Daitch (\"The Colorist,\" ?\"L.C.\"). In fifteen stories, all concerning \"strange displacements of the ordinary,\" Daitch examines the fringes of the art world in the 20th century. Characters restore or duplicate art objects (legally and otherwise), dub dialogue for foreign films, and look to old movies for guidance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the title story (based upon a legendary amusement park in upstate New York), a woman works at a children's theme park, where Alice in Wonderland mourns for the Sheriff of Nottingham, who has joined the marines. Combining \"downtown aesthetics\" with a vivid historical imagination, Susan Daitch's stories have the same qualities that have earned her novels wide praise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Daitch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1564780945\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564780942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.53h x 5.53w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/19\/1996 pg. 209\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/1996 pg. 242\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Susan Daitch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985147298047,"sku":"9781564780942","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7956deb-2f26-4e2d-8f5f-aa5eed7c17da.jpg?v=1683275828","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/storytown-susan-daitch-9781564780942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
